As from 11.2 there will be an 18 months support instead of the 24 previously.
That's bad news. :-(
Not if we have a tool to upgrade without server downtime. ;-))
To me ending support life after 18 months, means no more updates available whatsoever.
Do I lost something?
If you have a tool which allows dist upgrade without server downtime, you can upgrade much easier than with the need to boot from installation medium. After this, you will not need updates for the old version any longer, and you have newer version of lots of packages. If plus or minus, just depends on the quality of the "dist upgrade" tool.
