Hello Everyone,

At the tech board meeting today I brought up the topic of supported Linux
distros/operating systems. We came up with the following proposal, but want
community feedback before any decision is made. If you want a distro/OS
added, please reply saying so and provide a compelling reason why the
proposed distro/OS should be supported by DPDK, or why you think that more
or fewer versions should be supported. The policy is as follows;

Supported Distros/OSes:
* Alpine
* Arch
* CentOS Stream
* Debian
* Fedora
* Fedora Rawhide
* FreeBSD
* OpenSUSE Leap
* RHEL
* Ubuntu
* Windows

Supported Versions:

Distros or OS versions in General Support will be tested. Support will be
dropped for EOL versions or versions older than 5 years.

RHEL 7 has been granted an expectation to this due to widespread use, and
will continue to be supported until the tech board decides it is out of
widespread use.

Additionally, "binary compatible" distros will have a single distro
selected for testing. For example, RHEL 7 will be treated as providing
testing for CentOS 7.
