Actually, there is another concern. Debian users who are using these 6+ year-old releases might think the release is supported by the community and submit bug reports to us. I can't remember anyone complaining when we said a release was EOL by saying it is supported by Debian, so this is probably a minor concern, but something to remember. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Do not let urgent matters crowd out time for investment in the future.
