That helps, Thanks. Now that know the terms do we have afeel for how long maintenance will be provided for older versions of Fedora? Sorry if this has been answered but to me this is the crux of the issue and determines how often I need to reinstall.
2-3 months after next release. So there will be maintenance releases for about half to three quarters of a year.
Secondly, If RH decides that it will only provide maint. for say, 3 versions back, is there something that the developer community can do to take some of the work off Red Hat and enable the provision of maintenance for a longer period?
Sure. but that's not going to satisfy the segment of people who want to have a guarantee from RedHat that the updates will be provided. For them Enterprise is the only choice.
