I advocate removing RHL 7.2, certainly (since as people have pointed out the upgrade to 7.3 shouldn't be too painful); 8.0 I'd be less keen on removing in principle, but obviously it cannot stay in the present situation, so we should probably remove this. My personal interest in the project lies in 7.3 alone. If these products are desupported by us and there is a real demand to have updates, hopefully more people will come out of the woodwork and play an active role in the FL project. Do we have any download statistics for redhat 7.2 and 8.0 packages? In the end we have to be somewhat ruthless about this. The issue is going to come up time and time again as the older systems fall out of the limelight, and each time it will be a trade-off between supporting the older systems and getting prompt updates out for the more recent ones. In an ideal world FL would now be supporting my Redhat 5.2 box :-) Cheers, Dominic. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
