some vendors for extra money will extend warranties up to five or so years (my employer has started buying Dell boxes with five year warranties pretty much as standard).
To be fair, nothing in the article said that you couldn't get extended support on Advanced Server. I just said that the standard support cycle would be 3 years. I'm sure that there will be the ability to extend that support for a similar extra charge. Also, Advanced Server is still rather young and they may tweak the support time frame based upon sales and customer feedback. Red Hat is a business and I'm sure they will keep themselves flexible to support their customer's needs.
