I'm reading here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Extended_Life_Cycle#Detailed_Description I don't see any such definition. I also don't see a definition for the length of time, or issue severity coverage. (The last of these, to be fair, Jeroen explicitly asked us to weigh in on.) Furthermore: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Extended_Life_Cycle#Scope There's an admonition that says, "Note that the following items may only apply to those that opt-in on ELC support." That sounds pretty open-ended too. If Jeroen and the rest of the group signed up on the wiki page are interested in doing this in Fedora, they need to round up those details and put them in the page for consideration. -- Paul W.
