Hi, I think it'd be useful to understand the timeline of when a release will become EOL (if someone's considering buying the non-lifetime license, for example). Because for me, that's a big point before I try a commercial project: I don't want to invest whatsoever until I understand the long-term costs and security implications if I eventually decide to "cheapen out". It's clear on the FAQ that a release becomes EOL after two new minor releases ("if you're on 7.1.x, you'll stop getting security updates when 7.3.x is released"), but when/how often are new releases usually slated? Ubuntu for example is logical with their date-based EOL, but it's not as straightforward on Unraid. When I read "free OS Updates for one year" on the pricing page, my first thought is "oh, so I'm going to need to pay at least $36 around this time next year if I want to keep my system secure...?"; whereas in reality, this automatic logic is flawed, because it's probable there will be a new minor Unraid release within the next 12 months (6.11.0 released September 2022, and 6.12.0 in June 2023), AND even then it'd be another 2 minor releases after expiration that it'd even be on an EOL release. How you understand what I mean: after digging deeper, I understand that my initial logic was wrong, but I can imagine other prospective customers might have the same logic and it might dissuade them from trying Unraid. Cheers!
