Greetings folks,

Apologies in advance if this have been discussed before, I might have
missed it.

I have a machine on SL 4.0.  I noticed a few days ago a lot of update
where available via yum.  From what I understand,
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/, which
/etc/yum.repo.d/sl4x.repo specify, now appear to contain SL release 4.3.
 I would rather stay on 4.0 to keep the amount of update and possible
disruption low, so I changed the file back to specify
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40.

Can we expect security updates for the 4.0 release ?  If not, I will
move back to the 4x repo, but this would require a little planning (new
glibc -> reboot, etc).

Thanks !

Etienne
