releases.
If you are a hardware vendor would you want to be releasing a laptop
running CentOS 7.x today, with its outdated versions of much of the
software (that is a value to the enterprise server market, but less so
consumer)?
But the same goes for ANY LTS distribution!
No distro is going to do LTS releases with 37 month support every 6 months.
It would mean supporting 7 releases at once!
