It becomes a matter of support. Fedora releases are unsupported in about a year give or take. Which means you have to upgrade to the next one if you need security patches. That's only bad if the next release is unstable for your usecase or breaks something you rely on - s/w versions etc.
- rufugee 8y agoAre you saying that Fedora gets no security updates for a year after release? That seems not true, as far as some googling will show. The fixes may be unsupported by a company, but they're still fixes.
- blinkingled 8y agoEOL releases don't get any updates. EOL happens in a year or so approximately. From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade : Note that Fedora strongly recommends against ever running an end-of-life release on any production system, or any system connected to the public internet, in any circumstances. You should never allow a production Fedora deployment to reach end-of-life in the first place.
