Good luck calling your "rep" at nearly any commercial software supplier and explaining you're using a decade-old version of their software a year past its EOL date and would they kindly provide you support.
It doesn't matter whether it's open source or not, there has to be a line on these things, and there's been more than enough time given here.
- detaro 6y ago> It doesn't matter whether it's open source or not It actually does: with open-source you are not bound to the vendor if it isn't cooperative, but can pay anyone else willing and able to do the work. Plenty consultancies will happily fix old bugs or backport fixes in open-source software for you, but can't do much about closed software you depend on.
