This is not the topic below, but it is a comparison of volunteer
maintained distros to those professionally maintained. My understanding
is that Pat is a Fermilab employed professional whose employment duties
include what one reads below -- not on a fully volunteer basis. This
employed professional support presumably will end with the EOL of SL.
Will AL have a list such as this and someone equivalent to Pat (this
question assumes that there are AL "people" on this list)? I appreciate
volunteers, but I rely upon those who also are gainfully employed to do
the work.

Hello,
I'm not sure I understand the question being asked.
Fastbug packages remain in the fastbug repo until:
- there is a new release (ie 7.10) of the os
- a security errata requires the updated package for installation
At this point I do not estimate that glibc-2.17-323.el7_9 move from the
fastbug repo. A new release (ie 7.10) would almost certainly include a
newer glibc package, and I'd not expect a security errata that requires
this updated package.

Any estimate on when glibc-2.17-323.el7_9 from Feb will move from
FASTBUGS to the main SL7 repo?
