We will only do critical bugfixes. Server usage bugs are considered
lower than regular homeuse bugs here.

After 2 years we will stop doing security updates for openSUSE.
After 7 years for SLES 9 and SLES 10 and further products.

And you likely will not want to upgrade your server just after 2 years,
but run it until the hardware dies or you need larger hardware.

We make sure SLES is _stable_ for server usage and put a lot of effort
into it. We cannot do this 2 times a year for products with a long
lifetime.

Ciao, Marcus
