Full support of 6 ended in May, 2016 and Maint Support Lvl 1 ended May,
2017. It's now in the last period of retirement support, lvl 2... which
does last until Nov, 2020, but updates are only going to be for very
major security related things (and it's highly subjective).
Most enterprise users will have already planned their migration away
from 6 to be done around or shortly after May, 2016, but perhaps through
end of lvl 1 Maint by May, 2017.
Very little updating may occur in Lvl 2. Noting that Red Hat still
offered Extended support of 6 (you have to pay) until June, 2024.
Generally, speaking Red Hat wants you to migrate off 6 and the sooner,
the better.
CentOS roughly tracks with Red Hat since it's code updates come from
them (in pretty much all cases).
With that said, if a (out of band) package maintainer wanted to maintain
their stuff through 2020 and beyond... up to them of course.

You’d have to ask the standard repository maintainers for that answer.
IMO though it’s trivial to compile so if you need it why not just
compile it yourself?

Hello,
Is there a particular reason for no standard rpm available of
haproxy-1.8 on CentOS 6?
Any inputs will be appreciate.
Thanks,
