Red Hat offers endless Linux support — for a fee

**Executive summary:** Red Hat announced a RHEL Long‑Life Add‑On that extends support beyond 14 years to provide a multi‑decade path for customers (notably in telecom, healthcare, and aerospace) that need long‑term stability, compliance, and the ability to avoid forced migrations. The offering is positioned as a competitive differentiator to help organizations maintain consistent, supported infrastructure over extended hardware and regulatory lifecycles.
