But agreeing with Remko, we can (should better?) keep the links to the
latest releases with Java 6 and 7 support.

I don't have a strong opinion either way about retaining download links. In
general I think keeping them around suggests that we're still willing to
support fixes on those branches, even if we document to the contrary. That
said, it's easy enough to close tickets against old versions by pointing out
the documentation.

If there is sufficient interest in patching older releases, there'd
need to be an effort to backport other things.

PS: publicizing the links gives me an impression of support.

Re: [VOTE] Announce EOL for Java 6 and Java 7
The files will always be available on https://archive.apache.org/dist/logging/log4j/ including all our historical releases. I'm not so sure we need to keep the EOL'd artifacts on downloads.apache.org anymore.

Re: [VOTE] Announce EOL for Java 6 and Java 7
We should at least retain the information of which older version of Log4j maps to which older version of Java. I thought it would be nice to keep the links but don’t feel super strongly about it. :-) > On Mar 16, 2021, at 5:01, Matt Sicker wrote: > > The files will always be available on > https://archive.apache.org/dist/logging/log4j/ including all our > historical releases.
