Don't really see the importance of having separated repositories for each syslog-ng version as you don't provide updates... (I mean without backporting bugfixes to these repos, this is just a version lock).</div>

But version lock does not require separated repositories: <span style="font-size: 12pt;">users can pin (yum versionlock eg.) a specific version. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">All in all, these repos do not resolve the LTS vs. rolling release issue (which is not really liked some of the community members :) ).</span></div>

Ever since I started my unofficial rpm packages for (open)SUSE and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS I created a new repository for each new release and never deleted them. Of course OBS and Copr guys did sometimes clean ups, so Fedora and openSUSE packages for long end of
life distributions got deleted. But for the rest there are still syslog-ng 3.5 packages on-line.</div>

Not everyone likes to update syslog-ng every second month, so I keep the current workflow and create a new repo for each new release. This way your syslog-ng.conf or package management is not accidentally broken at a random time with a new update, you have
a chance to test a new release thoroughly before upgrading. On the other hand I plan to keep only a year worth of releases instead of everything.</div>
