The phrase �planned obsolesce� comes to mind. Yes, that's by design, unless you'd like to start a fund for paying people to maintain Fedora releases longer :) There was a project called Fedora Legacy precisely for providing some maintenance for older releases, but the man power wasn't enough and the project eventually shutdown. There are other distribution with LONGER support periods, you could try Red Hat Enterprise [GNU/]Linux or CentOS (if you want to keep on the Red Hat family). Best, Rui -- Pzat!
