Agreed, it's a great summary of what "support stops" means. What I was trying to say was more that I'm not quite sure where people asking the question are coming from - they are clearly worried about the impact there might be on them when support stops. In reality, though, I suspect that what they are losing is less than they think it is, in the sense that they are assuming they have things now that actually they don't. For example, "if I find a bug in Python I can report it and it will get fixed" - well, yes, maybe, but there's no guarantees on timescale, as we're all volunteers, so is that any benefit? I guess I'm more trying to tackle the question by clarifying that "your worries are unfounded" rather than by actually directly answering the question as it stands (because we seem to keep coming round to the same question, which suggests to me there's something deeper).
