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. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
