Thought a deadline during a year seems reasonable, it gives you enoufh flexiblity (and an open source project needs it, we have no clients, just users) It is always just a guideline but it does give users a sense of what the environment will be. The project is old enough to have some sense of its own history and should be able to set some goals for support. Adding clarity also makes it easier for contributors to get involved. If there is no leadership in these areas, it is hard for people to see what is required. If the PMC says that 12.04. will reach EOS on January 1, 2015 and EOL on March 31, 2015, the companies that want to stay on this release know that they have to step up to the plate with a plan and resources to extend this. If the PMC is vague about this, no one knows that they have to take action. If the companies do not want to step up then they know that they have 2-5 months to get on 13.07.01 and will have to step up to the plate with resources and a plan to address the features that were dropped between 12 and 13 if they need them. The current method of working means that anyone wanting to use OFBiz has to fork it the way that the core PMC members do. This makes it hard to grow the project and probably reduces the profits for all the companies using OFBiz as a base of their business.

Re: Remove R11.04 from Fix/versions in Jira
Done, I have dropped the R13.07.01 version. I was agreably suprised by Jira proposing me to switch the related Jira issues to the Branch R11.04. So I kept the Branch 11.04 accessible for change logs, but archived all releases R11.04 versions, I now wonder though, if it's the right way, to archive all releases R11.04 versions, because some people might be interested. Though if we go this way we will end with a lot of still opened old releases versions. Opinions?
