Well - I guess Petr is the best guy to hack that page :-) > Mmeeks suggested in this thread that 3.5.x should be considered EOL at > this point.

Seems reasonable - 3.6.x will last a bit longer because of the jump to 4.0 I think; currently planned at 9 months. Would changing 'Old Releases' to "End of Life Releases" in: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan do it ? with a bit of text saying: "A release normally has a lifetime of around six months, however if you want longer term support for a release, you're encouraged to engaged any certified L3 provider to provide you with support." or something. Why add that marketing blurb ? I don't want people to think the code is un-supportable after 6 months; in fact we (SUSE) continue to support branches based on old releases for our customers, and the lifetime can play into product choice decisions. How does that sound ? Thanks for following this up !
