i haven't fully understood how the bugfixing/updating-process will work:
does red hat provide bugfixes for fedora core over rhn (for free?), and
the bugfixes for the add-ons are provided via apt4rpm or yum for the
external reps?
or will all the bugfixes (provided by red hat or the 3rd-parties) be
avaible over rhn?
Here is how i interpret what is available on the Fedora web site:
Fedora Core updates _will_ be via RHN. These maintenance updates will
only be available for 2 to 3 months after the following release of Fedora.
That means you'd get 6 to 9 months of updating for each release from RHN.
After that you'll have to rely on 3rd parties. In any case RedHat
explicitly states there will NOT be a Service Level Agreement attached to
_ANY_ package updates for Fedora whether in the maintenance period or not.
