I update my system every morning as a matter of course, but that's not
what I'm talking about. Fedora brings out a new release every 6 months
and only supports the current release and the previous one. Releases
over a year old will not get even critical security updates, so
upgrading the release is something the sysadmin has to take specific
steps to do. If he doesn't, even regular package updates will not get t
he new release.
