This is funny.  Livna.ORG _has_ been updated for Fedora Core 3:  
  http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.stable/  

But not Fedora Extras:  
  http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/3/i386/RPMS.extras/  

FYI, many packages that were previously Fedora Extras (Firefox,
Evolution Connector, etc...) are now in Fedora Core.

So I guess Fedora Extras has a bit of cleaning/testing to do against the
release Fedora Core, whereas Livna.ORG has the same set of packages
because they would never be included in Fedora Core (because of the
licensing issues).
