documentation?
Hi Andy,
My question would be - what is your aim in putting the EOL date on
that page? You're not (presumably) implying any level of support at
bitfolk with regards to those dates? Or perhaps you should be - if I
want to pay for Ubuntu extended support, I'd hope you wouldn't make
changes that would prevent me running ye olde Ubuntu at bitfolk.
I think it's easy to assume that Debian is in a better position than
Ubuntu because it supports the whole archive, but in practice surely
it is still driven by the maintainer to some degree and hence can vary
from package to package. For popular packages I'm sure things will get
fixed, but for smaller, less well known packages I just think issues
are more likely to pass them by.
