11.0 was EOL today 11.1 will EOL in December 11.2 next May (I'm pretty sure).
My machines will all very likely be on 11.3 long before next May and a few will already be on 11.4 by then, but I thought I'd remind people that don't upgrade often that with the shorter 18-month support cycle starting with 11.2 it's going to be hard to stay on an older release for very long.
ie. in this case you have 10 months to move to 11.3 before 11.2 support goes away. 11.4 will come at 8 months into the cycle, so if 11.3 is a no-go for you, hopefully 11.4 will work and you can bypass 11.3 and upgrade straight from 11.2 to 11.4 during the final 2 months of 11.2 support.
And when 11.4 comes out next spring, you'll have 10 months to move to it, or skip it and have 2 months to go from 11.3 to 11.5, etc., etc.
(Please, no flames, it's not my intent to start a flame fest, but I suspect many don't know about the new support cycle.)
Eeeep :-P Thanks for clarifying this Greg. It was something lurking in my mind, but I hadn't taken time to look into it yet....
Not so much a problem to keep well running servers running, until you need something new (like clamd now has the habbit to stop working when the version is too old).
