Security updates for old Red Hat releasesSecurity updates for old Red Hat releasesPosted Nov 20, 2003 17:40 UTC (Thu) by Felix.Braun (subscriber, #3032)Parent article: Security updates for old Red Hat releases Actually, trusting Fedora Legacy is a sub-option to maintaining security updates in-house. This shows one of the true strengths of open source software: it empowers users and lets them work together efficiently. Thus, there will always be support for any kind of given software as long as there are enough users out there who care. If enough shops decide to contribute a little time to backport security patches, all of them can share the work of the others under the umbrella of the Fedora Legacy Project. Moreover, this support will be the better the more people are interested in it: Many eyeballs make all bugs shallow. Of course, as a corollary this implies that if you are the only one who cares about maintaining a product, you are pretty much left out in the cold unless you can find somebody to pay to do the work for you.
