I have read that there are people still running 13.1, which is one of the unsupported systems. What to do with the bugs reported by the people who are running that particular system (-- and same applies to the other unsupported systems in the list)?
I'm pretty sure there are, after all, I was one of them untill less than 3 months ago. But while I'm not really a fan of burning the bridges as soon as a distribution goes out of support (e.g. the bot nudging people to drop build targets from their projects - in opt-out manner to boot), I always understood that when I decide to keep using no longer supported distribution version, I'm on my own.
Certainly.
Yet people holding into old releases often have no option. For instance, I keep an old laptop on 13.1 because it is 32 bit. It has an USB bug, and obviously I don't expect a patch; I don't even ask for it, and besides, I made my own workaround ;-)
so the "argument for" and "expectation" of support for out-of-maintenance systems should be considered "nil" and any more conversation along this line should cease and the fact there are unresolved and/or not investigated bugs that do not exist in later maintained releases is immaterial. if you choose to continue running out-of-maintenance releases, you are doing "your own thing".
Stretching this a little more....the oldest bug in my list is confirmed against openSUSE 11.1, but still unsolved. Last change: 22 Apr 2010. I feel these old bugs (= before last Evergreen 13.1) should be closed mechanically. Objections?
