[ovirt-users] "supported" versions of ovirt (again)

Hi,

I'd like to talk again about the "support"
for the available ovirt versions.

I have recently read some times
that 3.3. is not supported anymore, e.g.:

By "support" I guess you mean the following:

There will be no updates (e.g. 3.3.6.) anymore

Is this correct?

Is there any way to determine how long a given
x.y.z. release will get .z updates ?

It would be good if there is some consistency
in that, so users can better plan their own
release management of new versions.

e.g. (made up numbers by me):

there will always be 3 z releases
if a regression is found there will always be a .z
release which fixes it.

how many y. releases will get .z patches at the same
time?

I know you can't expect a totally planned support, if
you need it, you could buy some well known downstream
product.

But at the moment it seems very random (at least to me)
how long a given release is out and gets patches and
when it stops getting patches.
