Why? The only qualifications most businesses have for "contributing" is giving money. This is true when we consider that the majority of businesses are not in computer software/hardware yet they do need computers to run certain aspects of their businesses. And, they are not going to give money to organizing an extended maintenance option to anyone let alone a community which has no responsibility or accountability. FWIW, I should not have used the word "maintenance" in my original statement. At most, I should have said "security updates". There is no "maintenance" in the traditional sense when it comes to Fedora. It was 5AM when I wrote that.... :-) -- Are we not men? Mei-Mei.Greshko@xxxxxxxxxxx
