-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Fedora 10 has been EoL'd by the Fedora project on 2009-12-17 [1] and thus has not been receiving any security updates during more than six (!) years. As a result of this, many of the ports that form the basis for the Fedora 10 infrastructure are riddled with more holes than a decent cheese, and with time passing by this isn't getting any better. I propose that we eliminate all Fedora 10 ports on March 31st -- 2016-03-31. This because during the upcoming six weeks, those who have not managed to migrate off Fedora 10 will probably not do so at a later date, and because it will be a convenient date for not having it included in the 2016Q2 branch. During previous developer summits [2] it was mentioned that apparently some vendors depend on legacy software running off this Fedora 10. As CentOS itself is originally based on the Fedora 12 release (albeit, due to RHEL being around, is supported until 30 November, 2020 ), chances are these vendors will find that their software works flawlessly with CentOS 6.7 (as any game that I've tested during spring 2014 did).
