I'm not sure what you mean here - when I look at the top table on that page it DOES show that older versions expire 6 months after the release of the next version. I think the cut is clear, and generally has been followed. Agreed, the release schedule is flexible, but termination of support generally isn't. Of course this doesn't mean that people don't seek help for older versions, and get it, but the devs wont provide updates etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
