All,
I'd suggest that we publish an official policy, with the following
dates for "EOL":
7.4 2009-08-01
8.0 2010-02-01
8.1 2011-01-01
8.2 2012-01-01
8.3 2013-03-01
8.4 2014-08-01
EOL would be defined as:
"After the above dates, the PostgreSQL Project will not promise to
provide any minor (patch or update) releases of the respective
versions, whether for security, data loss, or any other issue.
Individual companies might choose to continue backporting patches to
earlier versions, and if they contribute these update releases we
will make them available. However, after the final minor release
date, there is no guarantee that updates will be available and users
should upgrade."
It seems pretty speculative to propose end of support dates for every
active release at this point; what if it takes us longer than planned
to get the next few releases out?
I think we could try to set dates for the older releases.
