there's a vivid discussion on opensuse-buildservice about the consequenses of "end of life" announcements to the buildservice.
See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2008-04/msg00185.html
The question was raised if it is possible to keep older distributions available for download (e.g. unsupported.opensuse.org) and building. Adrian pointed to opensuse-project to get this question answered.
You said it very well on -buildservice:
I think we should differentiate between - supported and - available for download/build
I do not see anyone asking for ongoing support and maintenance. But I do see requests for availability.
I agree completely. I see no reason why the availability of a particular product should be tied to the active Novell/openSUSE product support life cycle. I agree, too.
And for discontinued releases i would vote for preserving it in the build-service one more term (e.g. 10.1 until 10.2 is discontinued). So people have the opportunity to softly migrate.
