The Fedora Project Foundations are: - Freedom - Friends - Features - First I believe that diverting resources into maintaining older releases does not further any of the Foundations. It takes resources away from further the last two principles. To quote the Release Life Cycle page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle -------------------------------------------------------------------- Maintenance Schedule Rationale Fedora is focused on free and open source software innovations and moves quickly. If you want a distribution that moves slower but has a longer lifecycle, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is derivative of Fedora or free rebuilds of that such as CentOS might be more suitable for you. Refer to the RHEL page for more details. Historically, the Fedora Project has found supporting two releases plus Rawhide and the pre-release Branched code to be a manageable work load. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
