There was definitely some serious conversation a few weeks ago and I
think the fact that the Legacy project made it to the Fedora
Terminology page is a good indication it's serious. Anyone involved
in that want to speak up?
Our current goal is to support a given FC release through the next 2
releases, and a short time into the third release after. A life span
of about 17~19 months can be expected for a given FC release. RH will
cover the first 7~9 months, Legacy will cover the next 10~ months.
Think of it as a 1-2-3-out method.
Nov: FC 1 is released.
May: FC 2 is released.
Jul: RH drops FC 1 support, Legacy picks it up.
Nov: FC 3 is released
Jan: RH drops FC 2 support, Legacy picks it up, release FC1 becomes
deprecated.
May: FC 4 is released
Jul: RH drops FC 3 support, Legacy picks it up.
Jul~Aug: Legacy drops support for FC1
lather, rinse, repeat.
RHL 7.3 and 9 are special cases, and will continue to be supported by
Legacy for as long as there is community interest in said errata.
