Hi,

Reaching out on behalf of endoflife.date[0], where we had a recent PR
for adding Haproxy[1]. haproxy does a really good job overall on this
front. For eg, I really appreciate how well documented the cycles are
(especially the "Hide/Show unmaintained" button).

The one challenge we're facing is with respect to EoL dates, which we
prefer to be absolute and complete[2]. Since haproxy EoL dates are
YYYY-Qn, it is hard for know in advance when a specific branch goes EoL.

We're currently being conservative and using "start of quarter" as the
dates, but that leads to inaccuracies like 1.7 being marked as EoL[3]
when it is not.

Is there any way for users to find out exact EoL dates in advance, or is
there an accepted answer for what Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 would usually mean here?

For already-EoL releases, providing complete dates should be easier I guess?

Thanks,
Nemo
