Yes, that was the scheme until now - it doesn't make sense to support a Fedora release if the mothership cannot support it anymore, e.g. if there can't be upgrades to kernel and glibc, even security related ones, it doesn't make sense to upgrade mythtv. E.g. F12 will be out on the 17th of November and F10 will stop receiving updates and any other support about mid December. See also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle Wrt to upgrading: I already upgrade a couple of systems to F12. Fedora 12 has been "released" in non-DVD form, e.g. /Everything/ and /updates/ is already working, you can have F12 on you system with a yum upgrade today! (And it works rather smoothly this time) Just try rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/fedora-release-12-1.noarch.rpm and then yum upgrade to Fedora 12. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
