Yeah, since when did the Enterprise looked to public mailing lists for
answers and shared plans of their deployments? Glad, you put the
public mailing list in its place.
Some actually do especially if they are educational institutions or
non-profits looking for help with infrastructure. I have gotten
involved in the past with some efforts like that. It depends on the
enterprise in question.
Yet, when the OP was looking for a
LAMP setup, it was immediately assumed he is an Enterprise guy and
there was a completely unjustified suggestion "Don't touch (even think
about) Fedora, Ubnutu etc. as a server platform for new production
apps". How is this useful?
I don't think this question is directed at me since I did no such thing.
You asked why does a LAMP stack deployment needs a longer lifecycle and
I explained some of the reason why that might be the case. I
personally have no real use for a distro with a longer update cycle and
I use Fedora full time and contribute to it. I don't make the mistake
of assuming such that this is suitable for everyone and understand that
there are people who do depend on a distro release supported for a
longer time.
Make no mistake, I have nothing against RHEL/CentOS but you cannot
trivialize another distro like Ubuntu just like that, or argue that a
completely arbitrary N-years support cycle is the clincher without
considering the specific internals of the organization itself. If
tomorrow, RHEL or Ubuntu provided 20 years extended support for every
release, will it be any more useful?
Yep. It would be more useful for certain set of customers and some are
willing to pay a lot more money for such a service and get a custom
update subscription.
