<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Kind of related, as an op, we see a lot of 3rd party repositories that recently only supported rhel5 move to finally supporting rhel6 because rhel7 came out and rhel5 went to long
term support contract only. This caused us to have to support rhel5 way longer then we would have liked. Now, we're stuck at 6 instead of 7. :/<br>
<br>
Some number of users will stick with juno until it is EOL and then move. Sometimes its because its a desire to not make a change. Sometimes its considered a good thing by the ops that they finally have a "good enough" excuse (EOL) to move forward "finally"
(sigh of relief). :)<br>

Thanks,<br>

</span>Yeah. IMHO, this is what you pay your vendor for. I don't think upstream<br>
maintaining an older release for so long is a good use of people or CI<br>
resources, especially given how hard it can be for us to keep even<br>
recent stable releases working and maintained.<br>
