Where can one find the expected EoL for these releases?

These are the existing releases. I believe Jo was looking for EoL for
7.1 and 6.4 once they are released.
Yes, thank you.
The answer to that is not clear -
nor do I know if it should be clear yet. I don't know when the type
of
support decision is made, but I suspect it's not this early in the
process.
The release date for 6.4 is ~30 days away, isn't it?
Also given that we've previously seen overlaps such that a newer
version is only supported to the same EoL as the older version, that
would pretty much dictate that spending resources on testing 6.4-REL
and/or upgrading would be futile.
To go back to the original statements made at the time: "you should
consider the lifetime of the release before you invest resources in
it". That means we need to know the lifetime to determine how much
resources to apply to testing it, yes?
