How is that any different from any other release? The same thing could be said for all releases and the trunk.

Maybe we could say something in the middle.
To explain that committers are not committed to maintain this releases, but are offering help to commit *well done* contributions?

My basic idea (not sure for Erwan) is to prevent users to expect us to work on their issues if they don't help us...

As has been mentioned many times on this list, the EOL concept does not fit well in an open source community. As long as users are using 4.0 and are willing to provide patches, etc, then there is no need to remove it. In other words, older releases are perfectly capable of dying a natural death,
so there is no need for us to do anything.

tomcat is having one for 5.5: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-55-eol.html

What I meant was to make an official message, saying nor support nor
patchs are likely to happen on this version. Unless this is
contributed.

Why would you say that? Are you speaking on behalf of everyone in the OFBiz community?

Are you absolutely sure that no one will ever commit a 4.0 patch ever again? If not, then why say anything? What has changed?

From my perspective, we don't need an official message. Or any other action.
