I'd argue that it really hasn't been supported for some time now.  I
suppose if there were some horrible security thing we could round up
enough people to figure it out and get a patched version out, but that
would be a _stretch_.  And probably involve a lot of begging and
pleading, as most of the developers have moved on.

The EOL designation has absolutely no bearing on the people using it.
Certainly those applications aren't going to stop working just because
there are no longer volunteers at Apache who want to work on the
framework.

I would hope that nobody is developing _new_ apps in S1 at this point,
but that's about the only effect I can see -- Corporate IT policies
will probably forbid new development on an unmaintained framework.
It's probably time to make that official.
