So you probably disagreed with my statement that SoaS is not about installing user files to a hard drive. Or do you mean having the Base OS on the drive, but the user files/activities directory on a stick? Given the wide range of school schedules world wide, I'm not sure if it is reasonable to try to synchronize release schedules with any particular schedule. I'm willing to be educated if there is in fact some consistency. I'm just not willing to support something like that without more data. It also seems like there is a desire among core Sugar developers to do releases more often then this as well as a desire to synchronize with Fedora's six month schedule. On the other hand, It seems like what you want is some hope that you will get some support (security patches?) for longer then until the next six month release. Given that Fedora itself is only supported for 12-13 months after release and SoaS resource constraints, I don't see any way to get more then that. It seems plausible though that Fedora security and other patches could be made for available for SoaS releases as long as they are available. Until Sugar reaches 1.0, I don't think it makes much sense to expect much in the way of support for older Sugar versions unless the problems are particularly bad. It would be better if a 'real' Sugar developer could respond to this. I just do SoaS...
