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."

I doubt it's in the cards.
Fedora Legacy died a quick death. It just took a while to get through the denial phase. At this point, if a group of people did get together, without official Red Hat support, claiming to be committed to extending Fedora support, no one would believe them, anyway. Besides that, our Christmas wish list includes stable (not bleeding edge) releases and not just longer support.
Ubuntu LTS has been on my radar. But the Red Hat family of OSes gets so much *right* for multiuser boxes that I hesitate in actually moving my XDMCP servers to it.
I've learned to live with the fact that there isn't a Santa Clause. ;-)
