So, that's saying that "3.x will be EOL whenever 3.(x+1) comes out" is not 
necessarily true in all cases, in that scenario, following my proposal would 
ensure this is not a source of confusion since any changes to sunsetting would 
be right there in the tag annotation.

This may very well be true, although since he has to create the tag annotation 
regardless, I was hoping this would be of minimal additional effort.

In any case I'm sure he can speak for himself.

Kind Regards,
