It is unlikely Fedora 37 would stop working with the LTS even if we no longer test there. Cheers, Richard

Understood and remembered now, thanks! I'll update my patches then. However, my plan is to propose a documentation patch that removes Fedora 37 from the distributions we support. Even if we can go on testing old distributions for several reasons (such Ubuntu 16.04 for quite long after it was EOLed), it's hard to support distributions for which we don't receive updates yet. Thanks again! Michael.

I'd prefer to keep the list including the list of things tested when we originally released even if they have passed EoL. The reason why is that people quite likely do keep some of these systems around and run the stable release updates on them. If they do, they're going to get a message saying it is no longer supported. That is true to some extent but things will continue to work and I'd rather not "panic" them like that. Whether they should build on EoL systems is a matter of debate and their choice, not ours. Cheers, Richard

Actually, that's what we're actually doing but I forgot, not doing this frequently enough: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/system-requirements.html#supported-linux-distributions Apologies! That's why I should have more notes for such things. Thanks Michael.
