We have been doing it this was for 17 years .. Literally since the<br>
inception of CentOS Linux. I have announced it several times and it has<br>
always been done exactly like this. CentOS Linux 2.1, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x<br>
have all been done this way.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>And the last global pandemic that shut everything down was 102 years ago, but don't even think of doing anything different for the sake of your users. </div><div><br></div><div>OK, fine.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
It is on <a href="http://vault.centos.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">vault.centos.org</a> .. download a final copy to your own local mirror.<br>
<br>
All older versions are on <a href="http://vault.centos.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">vault.centos.org</a> and have always been (same<br>
versions as mentioned above).<br>
<br>
We can not leave, in the production location, things that will never be<br>
updated and can have security issues.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You could for an extra month.
