uxbod, I think some of the grumbles with RFEs is that if you browse through them, there are a number of them that show the ticket was made back in the 3.x version and yet is still unresolved. I do agree with langs in that having tickets that are 2 to 3 years old does seem pretty bad...votes or not.
langs, from what I've read in these posts thus far, yes it sounds like 6.x will be the last version for RHEL4. And if I read pmweb correctly, giving about 1 year between major versions, Zimbra 7.0 will be due around mid 2010 or so. So RHEL4 should be supported until then if I understood the post from mmorse earlier. How does that affect fixes and such for the 6.x version afterwards? I don't know, I haven't been on Zimbra long enough to know how it was handled in the past. But yes, support for RHEL4 will probably end earlier than the "official" Red Hat life cycle for version 4. But I'd guess that by the late 2010-2011 range, you'll might be looking at getting off RHEL4 since the Red Hat support is coming to a close.
I do have to disagree that not doing something because your competitor doesn't kills innovation. I think you've got to ask yourself why aren't they (my competition) doing something. Is it a good idea that I could add and make my product distinctive? Or is it more trouble than it's worth and I'll spend a ton of resources producing it for little gain? Like so many things, it's a balancing act.  |
