dustymabe reported a new issue against the project: `atomic-wg` that you are 
following:
``
After talking with people from the fedora community and from the atomic WG it 
has become clear that there is a lot of confusion on our policy for support for 
N-1 releases of Fedora Atomic Host. 

First off some terminology:
**support**: means that we test and release new 2 week releases for this number 
release (i.e. we currently test/release new two week releases of Fedora 25 
Atomic Host). 
**N-1**: currently is Fedora 24 Atomic Host
**life support**: means that we still push out OSTree updates for the OSTree 
that backs this number release, but we don't create new image releases and we 
don't formally test it.


Currently we have been offering **support** for the current (N) release of 
Fedora and **life support** for the previous (N-1) release of Fedora. In the 
future I'd like to formalize our **support** policy and stop providing **life 
support** for previous releases once it is no longer a current release. 

There are a couple of reasons for this: 
  
- The level of effort going into N-1 is very minimal and I wouldn't want 
someone running that to get a false sense of security from it. 
- If N-1 breaks in releng for whatever reason, spending time on N-1 is not a 
high priority and I'd like to not have to fix it if it breaks.


For F26 I'd like to formally state this policy of **support**ing only the N 
release. We can also **life support** the N-1 for an agreed upon time period 
after the N release (30to60 days or something) to allow for transition.

Note: There is also some discussion about making Fedora Atomic a rolling 
release. That is outside the scope of this ticket.
