tl;dr: --- that statement by itself overlooks the obvious.  
Not ALL packages become unsupported that first day of that

Not to be too direct about this, but isn't the RHEL 6 primary 
maintenance date (through 2020 11 30) a closer maintenance 
depot to look at and to compare against ?  

Packages NOT in RHEL have a closer date, perhaps, but RHEL 
(next, assumedly 8, but ...) has not dropped yet.  A 
subscription customer _should_ be migrating toward 7 at this 
point, but as this is not a costless thing, such migrations 
tend to be ... with a deliberate pace
