End of support a stunning enigma
I am simply stunned by these events. Imagine, an unsupported, unfunded, obsolete Fedora Linux version can find no outside money or developers to help it limp along, so that both remaining users can avoid upgrading or having to pay anything for it. Does the expression "total waste of time and money" have meaning for you?
