Thread: EOL announcement
It is now August which means we are now forever removed from the shackles of 7.4 and 8.0. May I suggest that we send out one last reminder to people stating that they are now EOL.

No, you're not. We haven't spent the last three months back-patching
them in order to just suddenly drop that work.

Yes, the final EOL is in the next patch release announcement. Given
that several people involved in packaging are now on vacation, though, I
don't know when that will be ... 3 weeks?

FWIW, I am hoping to be on vacation between Aug 15th and Aug 28th. I will be reading e-mails very frequently, but I think I cannot help packaging, unless a serious issue is found...

That actually isn't a bad time either cause there are a lot of people (not just us) on vacation, specifically users.

It'd be nice to put out a beta5 or RC1 around mid-month. I don't see any
near-term reason to wrap back-branch updates, though, unless we find
some spectacularly nasty bug soon. Given all the people on vacation,
the next set of back-branch updates will more likely be in September.
