That's what I do. They have a > longer support cycle. Remember though that this model is changing with 11.0 release. With the new model, it's the 11.x family as a whole that has the long term support and individual releases such as 11.0 or 11.1 will cease to be supported very shortly after the next release in that series comes out. The last release in that series will then have a long support life so that 11.x as a whole has something like a 5 year lifecycle[*]. The transitions from 11.0 -> 11.1 -> 11.2 -> ... are meant to be something you could apply pretty much routinely; much as you'ld apply a new patch-level today. Cheers, Matthew [*] which is pretty much the same length as the the lifecycle of previous major branches has been up to now. --NoNG7XCR5mj6gPEhq7gs2shF7KFwOTQrw-- --WhX6DkbenHvleneq4iwBgEeTVSeEGmRRT Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJXUtuIXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ2NTNBNjhCOTEzQTRFNkNGM0UxRTEzMjZC QjIzQUY1MThFMUE0MDEzAAoJELsjr1GOGkAT+4IP/jraN0eKstwzoWf47AtbvrpJ gQ2X7X3uOBb0/2Z1esNf4JNQ9N7ajGpWL+fuOZlTi7p80Elh0NWG5PEbI4pp97r0 M8RFXHrzEbB7Np7C7LjQFJR8zV0Bk5C803KlCtbCKb1sVbRU1UjwQoT5KjMiIk/q F+ZPOt6IURfgyWM2o2qz5+N2XRVRGcqVHuUq74r8b6f4H0BAiwZTrAAJmH2oTeqU uePCBe7easzyF7k+wXhuGp5YRHkff/pOgiUWmjZ0XQmA6RNG20PskxihwvWy6IW9 jw8ewV0Nnpbb9ngo6dVmt5q35tiGiuYnsjqQXiZ1lXD32ghxahHrmhkA1UItgvBV 8Z2jYPI6vt+ZaezNcQF6Yo8pGNqTlFcfBtYpagf+7SjKYiYeuOG8o9uuNP8QVRam 2pctUS3noUx6oyxWQXcvIOAkgsCDU57QW13ChO/YquHtkfACpMQKfIrTdBRn5hI/ 1X2deFc9f3m1ETp6grsaN7BPAbSnxXeZXp5kS5qRK3uE51fwIS7WWNy94ZppElO1 O0aZ1fjv8ZGuRoQfCGQQym8N1ezj8kTtrMoHDn1RoB3vLIwU3OvCPNXa/misQVar CGLgUxr8NpFtSnt7a91zgVtf9XF64gf61LjAYknNPPqEVPnjsNFWxv1BgORbL83R IxzyfHWlJJD7b/hPg2wN =5fdp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WhX6DkbenHvleneq4iwBgEeTVSeEGmRRT--
