Yes, until a release reaches 'maintenance' mode in which only severe bugfixes
or security fixes should be issued.
Thanks for the clarification.
See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Policy/EOL
This only states what /not/ to do: if the release is in maintenance
state, only security updates should be issued. Is it stated anywhere
that for non-maintenance releases, packages should be kept in sync? If
not, which document in the Wiki should this be entered in?
I could add a reminder in the EOL page if it's needed.
Thanks,
