I have some questions regarding the info on this page: http://fedora.redhat.com/about/rhel.html
I'll just try asking the questions in random order...
It says the "Update Lifetime" will be "2-3 months after next release". Combine that with a "Release Interval" of 4-6 months, and that would suggest an "Update Lifetime" of 6-9 months, not the 12 currently listed on: https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/
Well if Fedora was a Red Hat product it would be covered by that policy. It isnt a Red Hat product, it is a community driven project.
Also, the chart lists "Developer Community" as "Testers". To the best of my knowledge, Red Hat QA was involved with previous Red Hat Linux releases. Are they out of the loop now, or do they somehow fall under the "Developer Community" umbrella?
No idea.. probably they will be focusing on Enterprise stuff and will fall under Developer Community when they have time.
Finally, since the "Update Source" will be the "Developer Community", will Red Hat still list the errata on the https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/ site for Fedora Core, as it does now for Red Hat Linux?
Doubtful beyond maybe a links saying:
