How does such long term support work?

[Patrick <patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had nothing but trouble with BSD/Linux over the past year or so.

I've been on Centos 6.4 for about a half day now and I am loving it.

I am just wondering though, how does a 7 year support cycle work?

I see that there is libreoffice which is kinda new. Is this because open 
office is under oracle's influence?

I am on gnome 2 right now, will I wake up one day in the next 7 years to 
gnome 3 ? I really don't want to. Will I just have gnome 2 + bug fixes?

If so how does the community do this if the gnome people drop support 
for gnome 2.

Thanks-Patrick
