Did we read the same document? It seems fine and a perfectly normal explanation of what’s going on and why, like any software with a defined lifecycle would have.
- dagw 7y agoI guess it depends what lens you are reading it through. If you're used to reading documents from open source projects it seems perfectly normal. If you're used reading documents from Oracle and SAP explaining changes to their long term support contract, then this will sound completely alien.
