The current hard requirement is one year: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/meeting-logs/20091109-summary.txt The follow up discussion probably didn't end up in any concrete decisions. If we want to actually make sure upgrades from old installs (>1 year) work then we should setup some kind of a bot doing upgrades. It would then provide the documentation for the upgrade path and make sure it keeps working. Regards, Petteri
