Unless openSUSE starts adopting end-of-life schedules that leapfrog each other, which I think Ubuntu does, then the most distant expiry date is the most recent release, so the release date information is redundant.
You see, that is why I proposed to have release schedule linked from Project Overview. So many people, including you, think that support ends with new release, which is plain wrong. The (open)SUSE is older then *buntu, and it has leapfrog end-of-life policy since ever. It is merely that *buntu copied SUSE end-of-life policy down to the length of term - 2 years for each release, since release date. See http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap for release dates of currently supported versions. Currently you have 10.3, 11.0 and 11.1 alive and well, ie. all supported. Support for 10.3 will end in October 2009, shortly before 11.2 release. The 11.0 will run supported until June 2010, and 11.1 till December 2010. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
