GoDaddy, dedicated hosting, Fedora Core 4 and the re-organization and halt of the Fedora Legacy Project
13 June, 2007 20:30
Not too long ago Fedora Core 4 was moved over to the Fedora Legacy Project. Unfortunately because of a lack of maintainers, the legacy project stopped operations for re-examination of the organization.
With no legacy maintainer for Core 4 and earlier releases, I was wondering what GoDaddy's position was in relation to server software updates and support.
I gave them a call and shortly after received an e-mail:
Andy,
While the company that handled the updates for Fedora went under. We will continue to use Fedora. Should any updates need to be made to the OS your server is running on we would notify you before those changes happened.
Thank you.

So it would appear that GoDaddy will be taking liability and continue to maintain there Fedora Core 4 dedicated servers. This sounds a bit suspicious to me. I wonder how there department plans on maintaining system server applications in this internet world where security updates can be frequent and the scope of the customers software systems are so broad.
One question I had, which I am waiting for a reply to, is if I am able to opt out of the push of updates, mostly for self-installation and customization purposes.
