Must you resort to nonsense and hyperbole?

I'd said nearly a dozen times that the issues I have aren't =20
specifics.  I am questioning the overall policy for EoL here. Even if =20=

it was known to work properly on my hardware the overwhelming amount =20
of bugs in 6.3 indicates an unstable release.  The diffs between 6.3 =20
and 6-STABLE are greater than the diffs between 6.2 and 6.3 last time =20=

I checked.

I can't understand the logic in having only a single supported version =20=

of the OS, especially one which so many known/reported/fixed-post-=20
release bugs.

And please don't respond if you can't avoid resorting to hyperbole =20
like what I quoted above.
