* [Nived Gopalan] > Support for version 2.2 shall continue till TSL 3.2 is out.
And hopefully slightly longer.. :) As Mr. Meyer said, the policy has been that support for 2.2 would continue 3 years after the release date of 3.2. This is so that the distribution can be "Enterprise" with no sudden obsolescence. People in the industry do not like to have to upgrade their servers on just a few months notice. The "3 years after the next .2" policy was planned out from there being a point release every 6 months, and so a .2 release every 1.5 years. This way the development team would only have to support any .2 release for about 4.5 years, avoiding the pain of having to support a super-old release (TSL 1.5 gave us lots of trouble that way). However, considering the age of TSL 2.2, I don't think anyone has reason to be very angry should the developers decide to look away from that part of the policy for a bit and make the EOL notice a bit shorter. EOL one year after the release of 3.2 should give any corporate users the time they need to plan and perform the upgrade.
