are not considered, even when they are endorsed by the vendor (eg. Debian LTS);
the same is true of repositories that contain packages backported from later
releases (e.g. Debian backports). Within each major release, only the most
recent minor release is considered.
For the purposes of identifying supported software versions available on Linux,
the project will look at CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, RHEL, SLES and
