I'd say those are not EOL dates but the day of the last release per each branch. Especially if you compare that wording with: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/releaseprocess and the definition of EOL that Rasmus gave - these dates are not the ones in the announcements, e.g. for PHP 4.4[1] for example: End of Support Date: 2007-12-31 EOL Date: 2008-08-08 Last Release 2008-08-07 Another benefit would be to change the order in the table, example of both: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unsupported Branches This page lists the last release date for each unsupported branch of PHP. If you are using these releases, you are strongly urged to upgrade to a current version, as using older versions may expose you to security vulnerabilities and bugs that have been fixed in more recent versions of PHP. Branch Last Release Date Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also it is probably worth to outline on that page that releases are not supported for historical reasons and that in the future the duration of support is as outline as in the RFC. Also the page could have a prominent last updated timestamp as it contains information that obviously changes over time. -- hakre [1] http://www.php.net/archive/2007.php#2007-07-13-1 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
