[Test-Announce] Re: Fedora Linux 42 will be End of Life next week

Hi all, Please accept my apologies for the confusion caused by my previous announcement. The End of Life (EOL) date originally provided for Fedora Linux 42 was incorrect, as the message was pre-scheduled with our release calendar as source, and amidst things, I don't think the schedule was updated with the most recent information. The correct EOL date is five weeks following the release of the latest version. Given that Fedora Linux 44 was officially released on April 28th, 2026, the actual EOL for Fedora Linux 42 will be May 27, 2026. We are currently working to ensure this date is updated across all relevant systems, including Bodhi and Bugzilla. Thank you for catching this discrepancy, and I apologize for the oversight.
