Are we ready enough to actually put a *timeline* on the website?
I would think so. IMO:
3 years - Maintenance mode only
5 years - End of life
I'm not really in favor of a one-size-fits-all approach to this.
Our various releases have had different levels of uptake and don't
necessarily all deserve the same support lifespan.
Case in point: we already obsoleted 8.0 and 8.1 for our Windows users.
How sensible is it to argue that they'll deserve a lifespan equivalent
to 8.2's?
I believe those are different arguments though. The Windows product is
still a relatively young and immature release. Our nix product is not.
Besides there is always an exception to the rule :).
I have no problem with, unless otherwise specified...
The above numbers seem reasonable as a rough guideline, but I think the
actual decisions will need to be taken on a release-by-release basis.
Nod.
