Subject: [PATCH] docs/about/build-platforms: Refine the distro support policy
|
|
|
|
cherry picked from commit 270629024df1f9f4e704ce8325f958858c5cbff7
|
|
|
|
For long-term distributions that release a new version only very
|
|
seldom, we limit the support to five years after the initial release.
|
|
Otherwise, we might need to support distros like openSUSE 15 for
|
|
up to 7 or even more years in total due to our "two more years
|
|
after the next major release" rule, which is just way too much to
|
|
handle in a project like QEMU that only has limited human resources.
