Hi,

OpenVZ 6 is end of support since Nov 2019.
But in that page I can see a new update on Deb 2020:
https://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042stab142.1

What is the current status of OpenVZ 6?

Because I can read:
Status stable, maintained
End Of Life Nov 2019

a bit confusing no?

In past OpenVz 6 was a "shadow" of RHEL6-based Virtuozzo 6, which was reached EOL in Nov 2019.

At present we can continue releasing of new OpenVZ6 kernel because Vz6 ELS programm
https://www.virtuozzo.com/support/all-products/extended-life cycle-support.html

However publishing of new OpenVz6 updates can be stopped in any moment,
and I strongly recommend you to switch to RHEL7 based OpenVz7 or to paid Vz7.

Thank you,
Vasily Averin
