Correct - however security updates are backported to the "old" versions of the software. > The Fedora Project moves in with EPEL, Extra Packages for Enterprise > Linux, perfectly suitable for a CentOS machine and with the same release > and 'support' cycle. Not entirely sure what you mean here. I think what was being called for was a release whereby it's "supported" (with security updates, etc) beyond the current 1 year, however perhaps not as much as the 7 years that RHEL is supported. However, as Matthew said in the e-mail that came in as I was writing this, there was little interest in Fedora Legacy when it existed. What makes us think that there's more of a demand now? It's either the short, bleeding edge release cycle of Fedora as we know it, or the long release cycle of RHEL. Both serve different purposes. -Jon -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
