Talking with a big Red Hat representative for Europe, he stated that
Red Hat will stop providing updates for the current FCx 1-2 months
before the official release of the next coming FCx+1. At my point of
view, this could mean a further push to drive current FCx or FCx-1
installations to migrate either to RHEL -----> or to CentOS :-)). The
reason that he gave me was that they need all the attention and man
power to focus on the forthcoming FCx+1. Although this is something I
haven't seen it in written yet on the official site, I consider it as
an internal information, as my employer company is Red Hat Advanced
Partner.
