And the working sites will still work later as well if they don't change the platform. However porting applications to supported platforms is part of a support contract, and costs should or can be described. It is even easier now that we have a fixed life cycle (three years). But again, how one should do support or define the needs of his customers so they won't be in trouble (and himself neither) is not a topic for this list. cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
