This is not the topic below, but it is a comparison of volunteer 
maintained distros to those professionally maintained.  My understanding 
is that Pat is a Fermilab employed professional whose employment duties 
include what one reads below -- not on a fully volunteer basis.  This 
employed professional support presumably will end with the EOL of SL. 
Will AL have a list such as this and someone equivalent to Pat (this 
question assumes that there are AL "people" on this list)?  I appreciate 
volunteers, but I rely upon those who also are gainfully employed to do 
the work.
