Part of the reason I suggested having a policy/plan would make us more confident about deciding on a date. Why not June 1 2020? That would give folks 3 months before "official" EOL. The source/artifacts are still available, so it's not like folks would lose all access. Are there reasons to wait longer? We have b/w compat allowing fairly straightforward upgrade, no? Curator already has support, etc... What would be the reasons to wait? The other reason I suggested a communicated policy is that it should include releases other than 3.4. Again, providing information to the community on what we plan to do given the EOL of a particular release branch.
