Hi Jamie,

They should just follow their word.  They state 2020.
Support means  support.  Freezing all the bugs in
is not support.

And Red Hat has seemed to have lost interest in 6
now that they have 7.

Here is another example:

"livecd-tools" is horrible.  The stick you create refuses
to boot in most computers.  The "persistence" is trashed.
There is a 3GB barrier on ext3 partitions.  Yada, yada, yada.

     "I'll make updates for specific problems, but I'm not
     going to backport anything to rhel6."

In other words, don't hold your breath.
