Re: [Users] Ovirt Support life (timeframe) - upgrade path ?
I answered with my limited knowledge on IRC, but I'll answer here too
for those who didn't see the IRC questions.

There is always RHEV if you want longer support...
Hi Morgan,
I don't have answers to the rest of your question, but just wanted to
point out that each release of Fedora is maintained for approximately
13 months, rather than 18. (The entire life of a release would be
around 18-19 months, though, if you're including the development
period.)

Just wanted to clear up any confusion or inconsistencies :)
Cheers,
Robyn

It's an upstream project, so it's really up to the community in what
they want to support. I would expect that each release would be
targeted at the current versions of the various distros. Upgrades
should work from version to version (though that code doesn't exist yet,
AFAIK).

Again, since it's an open source project, there is no official support.
I don't believe there has been any talk about lifecycle yet since we
just sent out our first release yesterday.

No where that I've seen.
