As I struggle to count on my fingers: it appears that with the release of release N, release N-3 nears its third anniversary at which it ends support. So, typically, support (and thus coexistence) will extend only through N-2. Or did I miss a finger? Should I try again with Greco-Roman inclusive counting?
N-2 covers three consecutive releases or a two-year span for an entire year. It works because releases now come one year apart. In the old schedule, releases came every six months. N-3 covered four consecutive releases or a two year span for only six months. Less is more.
