[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 NVIDIA - Phasing back support for el5

[Phil Perry]

Hi all,

We are now 6 months away from the end of Red Hat's production phase 
support for RHEL5 (31st March 2017).

https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata

At this point we plan to start to phase back support for our el5 nvidia 
packages in elrepo. For the next 6 months we will only release updates 
to el5 nvidia packages for critical or important security fixes. Support 
for el5 will cease completely on 31st March 2017.

Our stats tell us that our el5-based users currently constitute around 
5% of our user base and have done so for some time now. This would 
suggest that most users wanting newer hardware support have long since 
migrated to RHEL 6 or 7 so the impact should be negligible.

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
