As I understand it, this is essentially true. As long as you continue |
| 19 |
to update your system, it will remain up to a date. However, |
| 20 |
depending upon your architecture, there may be packages that are |
| 21 |
masked by profile. I've really only seen this on SPARC systems, but |
| 22 |
others may pop up as well. For example, the 2.6 kernel is masked in |
| 23 |
the 2005.1 SPARC profile, but not in the 2006.0 profile. I am still |
| 24 |
running the 2005.0 on my P4 x86 system, and haven't run into any |
| 25 |
profile-related issues. |
