Talking with a big Red Hat representative for Europe, he stated that Red Hat will stop providing updates for the current FCx 1-2 months before the official release of the next coming FCx+1. At my point of view, this could mean a further push to drive current FCx or FCx-1 installations to migrate either to RHEL -----> or to CentOS :-)). The reason that he gave me was that they need all the attention and man power to focus on the forthcoming FCx+1. Although this is something I haven't seen it in written yet on the official site, I consider it as an internal information, as my employer company is Red Hat Advanced Partner.
