And I think it makes the most sense, as the Z-Streams/the Extended
Update Support (EUS) (e.g. update support for 5.1 after 5.2 is out)
are only done for certain releases, only for a shorter lifespan and
only if you pay extra for them iirc. Hence the bulk of users always
will be on the latest release of a RHEL family (RHEL4, RHEL5).
Well, that's not true. Lots of customers stick to older point releases
sometimes because they need to do a large amount of inhouse testing
before deploying new updates (complex interactions between custom build
software etc) and sometimes because ISV's certify against point releases
and so on. However EPEL/ RPMFusion needs to weight the benefit of
supporting such customers. Atleast, for a while, it probably is a good
idea not to spread our resources too thin.
