I think that it might be a good idea to increase the time

That's what RHEL and CentOS are for.
Yes, but they use not so up-to-date software as F! Why not satisfy
Serguei Miridonov thought? What a mystery is there with the
lifetime/release period of F? Why some speak F needs shorter

Do you want to step in and help? A lot of the labour us unpaid.

lifetime/release period just to be on "edge"? - the thing I keep try to
find out not the first time.

Try Ubuntu. They have long term versions. You get the "bleeding-edge"
when that version is released. However, I don't believe that the long
term support versions keep all the packages on the "edge". It just
does not work that way. What long term support versions provides are
security fixes and bug fixes. No new features are added over time.


About all that Ubuntu supports is what's on a CD*; all of universe is unsupported.

*Any CD. Unbuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu etc.

I know of no distro that regular new releases and supports them all for ever. You choose one or the other.

If you always want the latest, just stay tuned to Rawhide, Debian's SID or similar.

Not supported with security fixes & such, but always something breaking:-)
