[Announce] Kernel branches 2.6.24, 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 are now frozen

[Kir Kolyshkin]

This is to inform that from now on OpenVZ project
no longer maintains the following kernel branches:

  * 2.6.24
  * 2.6.26
  * 2.6.18

No more new releases of the above kernels are expected.
Existing users (if any) are recommended to switch to
other (maintained) branches, such as RHEL5-2.6.18 or
2.6.32. Kernel 2.6.27 is currently also maintained,
and will be for some more time, but eventually it will
also be frozen.

This policy does not affect vendor OpenVZ kernels
(such as Debian or Ubuntu) -- those will still be
supported for the lifetime of their distributions
via the usual means (i.e. bugzilla.openvz.org).

Regards,
   OpenVZ team.
