I am not comparing the numbers in a mathematical way (I am not saying 16 is better than 7).
I meant more like that packages get updates to next major versions when the OS jumps to the next major version. Somehow, I felt that Ubuntu releases new major versions more often than RHEL. But checking the release dates it seems that I was wrong.
- merb 10y agoActually 7 is released on 2012 while 16.04 is released on 2016. You could compare 14.04 and 7 but not 16.04 and 7. Eventually you could compare CentOS 8 when it comes out this year.

- sciurus 10y agoNo, RHEL 7 was released in June 2014, not 2012. There's no sign of RHEL 8 yet either; it would be quite surprising for it to come out this year. https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078 https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078
