That's no reason to enable this insanity.
I would advocate for just going with what's generally supported by Microsoft:
Extended support would be in, "throwing bags of money at Microsoft" support is
out, i.e. Windows 7 would have been unsupported since January.
This approach would also address the problem of not having to manually keep the
policy up to date. As we've seen with the browser support policy, nobody will
update it.
Additionally, this has the benefit of being fairly objective criteria, and
would also save us from having to have this conversation again in two years.
(And TBH I would just ignore Windows Embedded Industry, seems like a lot of
effort for very few users.)
Note also that this doesn't mean that Jenkins on these OSes would necessarily
immediately break. If there's a new enough .NET Framework or whatever on
Windows 7, and there's no reason to go with something newer, then Windows 7
will just continue to work. But users would know that they cannot indefinitely
rely on it.
Obviously I'm +1 for whatever makes it easier for you to support these
components, even if it's just small steps.
