I think the problem is that people have a hard time seeing what each
other is talking about. I think this is what the upgrade policy is.

           Release                 EOL
Fedora 8   2007-11-10      2008-12-25?
Fedora 9   2008-05-13      2008-05-XX
Fedora 10  2008-11-25?     2008-11-XX
Fedora 11  2008-05-XX      2009-05-XX

If Fedora were to make its schedules of 6 months.. and I am at Fedora
8, I have 7 months to move from Fedora 8 -> 9 since 8 isn't available
til 6 months out of my 13 month support. Now the lifetime of Fedora 8
would be 13 months.. but my window to upgrade before I lose security
is 7 months.
