If you are speaking of production use, folks are already going it alone on a platform that is not supported. The way the Fedora project is set-up, though, allows for projects like Fedora Legacy to emerge and focus on issuing errata for legacy releases. > > As an addendum...is Redhat forcing Fedora Core into a too-rapid release > cycle in order to force people to purchase their RHEL offerings?

But how fast the core releases is not the same as determining how long the core is maintained by Red Hat, which is not the same as how long it may be maintained by 3rd party projects and individual contributors. Product and technical support for Fedora is up to the Fedora community to provide as well as use. You will always get out of it what you put in. --jeremy > > Ben >
