Re: Clarify Support for 2.2 on Download Page

Hi Derek

You should subscribe and post this question to the Dev list, they will be
able to get you sorted quickly!

Normally you can edit documentation directly via github (e.g.
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/trunk/doc/source), however the
download source appears to be outside the Cassandra repo.

Clarify Support for 2.2 on Download Page

[Derek Burdick]

Hi, is it possible to update the language on the Apache Cassandra Download
page to reflect that version 2.2 will enter Critical Fix Only support after
November 21st?

The current language creates quite a bit of confusion in the community with
how long 2.2 and 2.1 will receive fixes from the community.

http://cassandra.apache.org/download/

Specifically these three lines:

   - Apache Cassandra 3.0 is supported until May 2017. The latest release
   is 3.0.9
   

(pgp
   

   , md5
   

and sha1
   
),
   released on 2016-09-20.
   - Apache Cassandra 2.2 is supported until November 2016. The latest
   release is 2.2.8
   

(pgp
   

   , md5
   

and sha1
   
),
   released on 2016-09-28.
   - Apache Cassandra 2.1 is supported until November 2016 with critical
   fixes only. The latest release is 2.1.16
   

(pgp
   

   , md5
   

and sha1
   
),
   released on 2016-10-10.


What would be the best approach to help get this changed?
