It just occurred to me (too late :D sorry Zeev) that it might make sense to 
split this into two RFCs:

- to define the active support end date for 5.6 (e.g. "2016-08-28" or 
"2016-12-02" or "2016-12-31")
- to define the security support end date for 5.6, and specify that relative to 
the active support end date only (e.g. "12 months after active support end 
date" or "24 months after active support end date")

That would also allow us to, if the need arises, change the active support end 
date sometime next year (for whatever reason; let's hope it is not necessary!) 
without having to open up a discussion about the security end date again ;)
