</span>This continues to puzzle me. LTS is a stream of security updates, and<br>
you say the deployments do not apply them until the next year?<br>
<br>
And yet they want them?<br>
<br>
They want something they don't use?<br>
<br>
If a vulnerability is reported just after they make their image, the<br>
children are exposed to the vulnerability for the rest of the year.<br>
<br>
It seems more likely that the meaning of LTS is not understood.<br>
<br>
Fedora continues with security updates for a similar time period, but<br>
if the deployment uses our builder unchanged they won't get them. I'm<br>
expecting that if a deployment needs LTS on Fedora they will assume<br>
the responsibility to apply the updates when they make a build.<br>
