Just a message to remind everyone that CentOS-5 has an End of Life date
of March 31, 2017.
This means that there will be no new security updates released by Red
Hat for RHEL-5 after that date.
Sometime in early April, the current 5.11 tree will be moved onto
vault.centos.org (like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 have been since their EOL).
Will the centos-release package be updated to point to the vault tree?
It is not my place to offer opinion, but I would rather have it fail, thus prompting whoever tries to still use CentOS 5 to look deeper and find out about end of life, than quietly going to vault as if it still us usable secure supported system.
Just my $0.02.
