Currently, our Institute investigates alternative operating systems
compared to Linux. Apart from technical issues we are also concerned
about lifecycle management as well. We simply don't want to
reinstall/upgrade an entire OS all half year, which is the main reason,
why we will no longer use half-commercial system like SuSE (= 2 year
lifecycle for 'free' version).
The question is how you OpenBSD guys handle the upgrade issue. From the
website I learned that -STABLE is maintained for only one year (= two
releases). Given that upgrading by skipping one release is not
recommended, does that mean one needs to upgrade the entire OS every
half year? I couldn't get that from the website.
Thanks for helping,
