I was not requesting that, either. You are misunderstanding the issue.
Now for a change, what could be pretty much done easilly was the following to cover the communication problems and make sure users see the EOL message:
1. Add a EOL message to the YaST installer, make it very visible stating when that product terminates.
Useless. The people using the machine after EOL may not be the same person that installed the machine.
2. One month before the EOL add a small package which will force that any sessioned login on a console will print out: "This product life cycle finishes on $DATE. PLEASE UPGRADE!"
Interesting, but many users don't use the console.
3. Add into the main page of openSUSE the following:
Many users do not check that webpage, till they have problems or want something.
And that's pretty much it... But just to continue being an a$$, please quantify the real number of users which have putted up such issue, so that we can see what is really happening... so far they can 2 or 2.000.000... being a bit more precise would help.
Several on the forums. I haven't counted them. :-) Which is a percent, others don't know there is a forum. Even less a mail list. :-P - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
