Ok well they all sound like a shade of terrible for one reason or another, so I'll suggest one maybe more terrible so that in comparison these three sound better. Ship 5.x and basically plan on abandoning it when upstream does, i.e. no plan at all, in advance, to do security fixes beyond upstream's date. If they happen, it's a bonus. Kinda reminds me of this Red October quote from Cpt Ramius: "When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result his men were well motivated." Meanwhile 6.x goes into copr now and can "ship" voluntarily at anytime in the life of Fedora 24. Include the plan in the release notes and common bugs, and ask volunteers to point this out in particular on upstream's EOL day for 5.x as a friendly reminder on the usual forums and such. -- Chris Murphy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
