[CLUE-Tech] Red Hat Ending Support (Long, but very pertinent and an enjoyable read - really, I wouldn't kid you....)

[Michael Robbert]

The community, including RedHat, provides errata updates, but for a much 
shorter time than before. FC2 is scheduled to be released on April 5 so 
that means FC1 will no longer get updates after July or August. There is 
also a FedoraLegacy project that is trying to get off the ground and it 
may offer updates for some releases for a longer period of time, but 
their plans are still being put together as they go.
