Re: OT: RH end-of-life

I'm NOT a RH apologist here, but I would like to point out that 12
months is their announced minimum. They are free to extend that.

Advanced Workstation, if it has an acceptable price point, is also a
possibility.

But 12 months? I'd love to rev my users desktops a little more often
than that. Servers, naturally are another matter.

I think at this point we shall have to see. I, personally, wouldn't mind
18 months at all. But RH clearly wants everyone who can afford it to
upgrade to AS/AW.
