You seem not to understand the context of my reply. Evolution 2.32.3 is far a way from being a current software release from Evolution upstream. I never claimed that Centos 6 reached EOL. Feel free to provide support for a release of Evolution that is based upon a GNOME release, that is dropped completely by GNOME upstream. Feel free to use such a distro for a desktop PC to run a mail client. The kind of Linux that might be reasonable for a sat receiver, sever or what ever elsenot desktop related task, has got less to do, with a reasonable Linux release for the distro you'll use to run a MUA. >TBH the CentOS mailing list is likely to send people to the Evolution >mailing list - there are not enough specialised desktop people on that >list as most people use CentOS as a server OS, not a desktop one. If they provide Evolution 2.x they are most likely the most reasonable persons to contact. If there should be an issue with the 2.6 kernel, would they recommend to send a request to the kernel mailing list? There's no LTS kernel 2.x anymore at https://www.kernel.org/ and apart from this even when using a recent kernel, the Centos kernel seemingly is tainted with out-of-tree patches. In regards to requesting support by other communities and not the Centros community, it is a bizarre distro. Somebody using such a distro, should expect to get weak support by most Linux communities. The best bet is to ask for support at the appropriate place.
