It's not just Red Hat employees. There are many more non-Red Hat employees in the Fedora Project. Many have the same challenge you do.

Heh, not so bad. :) I think Paul's suggestion is really the only answer: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2007-October/msg00321.html Fedora the Linux distro has to choose what it is best at and not try to be everything to everybody. But within the Fedora Project there is room to spin Fedora in different ways, to expand the support lifecycle, and so forth. Just because Fedora Legacy didn't work doesn't mean the idea is a bad one. It just turned out that the people involved in it *then* found CentOS to be a better solution for them. You are describing a different situation, many different people can make it happen. With this new Fedora extended support idea, the team knows which versions are going to get extended support (such as, every odd numbered release.) Work on updating support docs, processes, tools, and putting in special work can be done for that release in development. Organizations that are planning to roll out this extended support version should begin testing with the alpha or beta version. Then their unique problems are more likely to be addressed, and can be fixed by the very extended support engineers paid to do that work. Those organizations gain a few months of planning so they can begin their roll out closer to the version release date. It's a very good idea, just waiting for someone who needs it enough to make it happen. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
