Hi,

I have a question about the EOL policy in the link at the end. The paragraph 
below from the link says the releases in the past year will be supported. The 3 
releases from last year 2020 are 2.5 in Mar, 2.6 in June and 2.7 in Nov. We 
have in this year 2021 2.8 in April, 3.0 in July and maybe 3.1 later. When we 
have 3.0 or 3.1, do we still support those 3 version in 2020?

The reason I ask for the clarification is the parenthesis in the paragraph 
"(i.e. last 3 releases)" since when we have 3.0 for example, the last 3 
releases are 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. That would leave 2.5 not supported.

Given 3 releases a year and the fact that no one upgrades three times a year, 
we propose making sure (by testing!) that rolling upgrade can be done from each 
release in the past year (i.e. last 3 releases) to the latest version.

Appreciate your clarification.

Thanks, CH
