I guess it wasn't announced because we are trying to keep the EOL times with the new releases, and in an ideal world where we can always perfectly match the 12 month release cycles those would be matching, but based on the last two minors, we can't really keep up with the 12month release cycle, so I think that we should either stick with the release process rfc and announce the extended support and EOL dates based on the original release date, or update the releaseprocess RFC to state that we move into extended support/EOL when the the new version in that year is released. --=20 Ferenc Kov=C3=A1cs @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu --001a11c17ab6cc41610500a7a4a6--
