Hi, There's a wiki page regarding Kafka's release policy: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Time+Based+Release+Plan
And regarding the EOL: "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. We will also attempt, as a community to do bugfix releases as needed for the last 3 releases." This is not exactly what you meant by "supported by the community", but in general we only try to release bug fixes for the last 3 releases, hope this can help with your planning.
