But on the whole I think we should NOT have such a policy, at all.
If we'd enunciated such a thing in 2005, we'd still be on the hook to
support 8.0 on Windows; or else have had to go back on our word. The
truth of the matter is that the community will make reasonable efforts
to support back branches but we are not going to set anything in stone.
If someone wants a guaranteed EOL date, they ought to be contracting
with a commercial support company and paying appropriately.
I think we can avoid most of these problems by making a "best effort"
policy rather than a hard promise. But it can be moderately specific
about what we will make best efforts towards. I agree that anyone who
wants a hard promise should be getting commercial support.
