How long will CentOS 5 be supported?

We intend to support CentOS 5 until Mar 31st, 2014 The current plan is this:

• Full Updates (including hardware updates): Currently to Mar 31st, 2011

• Maintenance Updates Apr 1st, 2011 - Mar 31st, 2014

  Full Updates

  During the Full Updates phase, new hardware support will be provided at the discretion of CentOS via Update Sets. Additionally, all available and qualified errata will be provided via Update Sets (or individually {and immediately} for Security level errata.) Update Sets normally will be released 2-4 times per year, with new ISOs released as part of each Update Set. In the 5.x numbering scheme, the .x is the number of the Update Set.

  Maintenance Updates

  During the Maintenance updates phase, only Security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released. There will be few, if any, Update Sets released.
