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.
It typically stops after the next .y release is out. So after 3.4 is GA the need for next
3.3.z is less important. I'd say after 3.4 is GA you can expect at most one or two
more 3.3.z for urgent/security fixes, and by the time of 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 the updates on 3.3
would stop
I think we don't deviate from this that much. The actual number of .z depends on the
length of the development of next release as well as number of issues, so that varies.
Thanks,
michal
