That's why I indicated the update releases in my image. And that is why I put the release version at the end (and not at the front) of the timeline. However, the image includes much more information than a normal individual can get out of it without someone guiding them. So while I am not that concerned with the fact that someone may interprete it wrongly, I do think that the text (or explanation) that comes with it should highlight some of the things that would normally be told during a presentation. This slide and the next one need guidance anyhow to transfer the full message. BTW if you compare it to the release-cycle Canonical released after my blog-post it is very easy to be misled by what Ubuntu LTS offers. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
