The following modifications were done:
- Tried to follow the listed wiki update/maintainance dates.
- A comment about full updates and maintainance updates was added.
- Add an extra rounded box to reflect CentOS major version.
- Add full and maintainance update inside CentOS major verion.
- Add dates for full updates and maintainance updates cycle.
Alain,
I am afraid there is too much information on a single page, and it is harder to understand because of those dates you added.
Also I would not call it "Full Updates" and "Maintenance Updates". Red Hat turned away from those names and now call it phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3 (iirc) so that you are forced to read what they mean. I am sure marketing wanted to avoid people to only take notice of when they had "Full updates" aka. "Full support".
Update releases are now officially every 6 months.
Also the Full Updates phase should be 4 years out of the 7 years for RHEL4 and RHEL5. To me it looks like it is only 3 years on your slide. (eg. RHEL4 is not out of Full Support yet).
The location of the minor release number is very confusing, I think people may make the wrong conclusion based on the location inside of the bar.
Suffice to say I like my original slide over this one.
PS I noticed there was "Maintainance Updates" in the slide instead of Maintenance.
