Following TimG and HenriV retweet about premier support extension can we really consider it a good news?
Won't it mean, for cloud skeptical minds, that the next on prem release won't happen before late 2018 or early 2019?
See ya in kscope and hoping to drink a fresh beer with each one of you as it is already +95F here!
They extended 11.1.2.1 a few years ago as well. 11.1.2.1 was released in April 2011, with premier support ending in April 2016. Premier support was extended by two years, and now ends April 2018.
I believe that 11.1.2.4 was released in February 2015, so the natural premier support ends February 2020, and is now extended ten months to December 2020? That seems a little arbitrary, I guess they they just rounded two months down to make the date easy to remember? 11.1.2.3 was extended too.
Sure, this *could* be related to future release plans, but I don't think that's a foregone conclusion.
