 ## Apache Spark Version Support
 
-Each Comet release supports the **latest patch version** of every Apache Spark 
minor release that
-Comet targets at the time of release. The currently supported Spark versions 
are listed on the
-[Spark Version 
Compatibility](../user-guide/latest/compatibility/spark-versions.md) page.
-
-When the upstream Spark project publishes a new patch within a supported minor 
(for example,
-`3.5.8` → `3.5.9`), the next Comet release will pick it up. Older Spark 
patches within the same
-minor are not separately supported.
-
-Dropping support for an entire Spark minor (for example, removing Spark 3.4) 
is announced in the
-release notes of the **preceding** Comet minor release, giving users at least 
one release of
-notice before the change takes effect.
-
-Comet binaries are published per `(Spark minor × Scala binary version)` 
combination. Users must
-select the binary that matches their Spark and Scala installation.
+The currently supported Spark versions are listed on the
+[Spark Version 
Compatibility](../user-guide/latest/compatibility/spark-versions.md) page. Comet
+binaries are published per `(Spark minor × Scala binary version)` combination. 
Users must select
+the binary that matches their Spark and Scala installation.
+
+### New Version Adoption
+
+Comet does not commit to a timeline for adopting a new Apache Spark minor 
release. The effort
+required varies significantly from one release to the next, so Comet will not 
promise a
+delivery date it cannot guarantee.
+
+A Spark minor release becomes eligible for **supported** status only after 
upstream ships an
+official GA release. Comet may publish **experimental** support for a pre-GA 
release (a
+preview, release candidate, or snapshot) to gather feedback during 
development, but such
+experimental support is explicitly not a commitment: it may lag upstream, 
break, or be
+withdrawn at any time. Production users should target GA versions only.
+
+The mechanical stages of a bring-up and the criteria a version must meet 
before being promoted
+from experimental to supported are documented in the contributor guide's
+[Adding Support for a New Spark 
Version](../contributor-guide/adding_a_new_spark_version.md)
+page.
+
+### Support Lifetime
+
+Comet aligns its Spark support window with the upstream
+[Apache Spark versioning 
policy](https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html). A Spark minor
+release is supported by Comet for as long as it is actively maintained by the 
upstream Apache
+Spark project. Once upstream ends maintenance for a Spark minor, Comet removes 
it in two steps:
+
+1. **Deprecation.** The next Comet minor release after upstream maintenance 
ends marks the Spark
+   minor as deprecated in the release notes and on the
+   [Spark Version 
Compatibility](../user-guide/latest/compatibility/spark-versions.md) page.
+   Comet continues to build and publish binaries for the deprecated Spark 
minor during this
+   release cycle.
+2. **Removal.** The following Comet minor release removes the Spark minor and 
stops publishing
+   binaries for it.
+
+This gives users at least one Comet minor release of prior notice before a 
Spark minor is
+dropped. For example, Spark 3.4 was deprecated in Comet 1.0.0 and will be 
removed in Comet
+1.1.0.
+
+### Patch Versions
+
+Each Comet release supports the **latest patch version** of every Apache Spark 
minor release
+that Comet targets at the time of release. When the upstream Spark project 
publishes a new patch
+within a supported minor (for example, `3.5.8` → `3.5.9`), the next Comet 
release will pick it
+up. Older Spark patches within the same minor are not separately supported.
