Must you resort to nonsense and hyperbole?

I'd said nearly a dozen times that the issues I have aren't  
specifics.  I am questioning the overall policy for EoL here. Even if  
it was known to work properly on my hardware the overwhelming amount  
of bugs in 6.3 indicates an unstable release.  The diffs between 6.3  
and 6-STABLE are greater than the diffs between 6.2 and 6.3 last time  
I checked.

I can't understand the logic in having only a single supported version  
of the OS, especially one which so many known/reported/fixed-post- 
release bugs.

And please don't respond if you can't avoid resorting to hyperbole  
like what I quoted above.
