There are no such plans for now, and until at least July of 2020.
And yes, I’m with Cisco, this is official.

And please remember EOL is last stage - first, there’s EoS, and you
still can for a year buy the equipment. There’s couple of years (3 to 5)
of support.

In this specific setup, 32-bit OS won’t hurt, as BGP on 9001 and
9006’s RSP is perfectly capable of driving ~2M+ FIB and ~20M RIB
entries (if used with multiple BGP instances, 7M+ for single instance).

That’s true of course. 9901 would be better entry-level choice with
years in front of it.
