Yeah. IMHO, this is what you pay your vendor for. I don't think upstream maintaining an older release for so long is a good use of people or CI resources, especially given how hard it can be for us to keep even recent stable releases working and maintained. --Dan __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
