We want the security patches and maintenance. We do not want new versions of things, no new features, no unneeded changes. Stability, not bleeding edge. Conservative, not revolution. A long term support version, without paying for a expensive commercial version like SLES.
Which is what I thought dd is trying to say: that you want to live in the past but want to have someone spend their time and effort maintaining something which is ancient and outdated. I mean if you want to use old stuff then why not, as I said earlier, just install version, say, 11.4 and stay with that for 20 years? Why require someone to spend their time/effort providing you with updates for your old system AS WELL as providing the exact same for the most uptodate versions? Seems like a heck of waste of human resources which can be used more productively elsewhere. But, then, that's my thinking.
You're wrong.
Absolutely. Nobody is talking of 20 years, for instance. One or two years at most. It is similar to what SLES does, for instance, but with lower spectations/effort. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
