Red Hat and Mandrake are cutting support for older versions of their Linux distributions... The results will be a security nightmare for the Internet.

That's what Open Source is about. You can fill this hole. 2003-02-18

I just wanna say. If you think that's something to be done, just do it yourself. I mean, any company (probably a 1 person or 2 person one) can continue the job. Patches are there, and the code. It is just necessary to run a server with a modified up2date that points to this other server.

Open Source companies are going to make errors. But Open Source structure gives market a chance to fill the holes.
