Right after the recent news that Red Hat is offering a new subscription for mission critical deployment that extends the life-cycle for up to 10 years, Red Hat has announced another, that allows the customers to stay in a single point release for up to eighteen months and continue to get updates and support that point release. Matt Asay writes: "Red Hat has set the standard for world class software support, consistently earning top marks with CIOs for its efforts. On Thursday, however, Red Hat outdid itself, introducing a new product support plan called Extended Update Support. In a nutshell, Extended Update Support enables customers to run their mission-critical systems for longer stretches of time without having to take production systems offline to update them."

If there is a truly a demand for such a option, probably something based off Fedora might be a better deal. There should a community of contributors willing to extend the updates beyond what is offered. There are some but not enough critical mass I suspect. Fedora Legacy died a slow death but maybe things are different now. I suspect, people who want it are only in wishlist mode rather than in participatory mode at the moment. Would be interesting to see if that changes. I might even join the effort.
