Re: Re: [opensuse-project] Re: [security-announce] openSUSE Leap 42.1 has reached end of SUSE support

Hi,

The lifetime is pretty much something the openSUSE project team decides, not so much the security team.

(So better use the -project list ;)

Currently Leap also aligns with the regular maintenance lifetimes of SLES service packs too, and 12-SP1
(which 42.1 contains to some degree) goes into extended maintenance May 30th.

Ciao, Marcus
