I was surprised to hear that.  When I asked a couple years ago, I thought you
meant that new major versions would continue to be supported (and that I was
finally "caught up" on OS updates).

I think it'd be good to publish a schedule for minor and major releases.

This page still shows RH6 as "supported", which I would have taken to mean
"fully supported" and not "patch releases only".  It be nice if that showed
which major versions were supported, or finer-grained detail, and reasonable
advance notice to plan for EOL release.
