In relation to this, you then have AWS who basically support everything forever until their customers stop using it. They _still_ support people on EC2-Classic even though they would rather not. Every TAM I've come into contact with brags about how they won't deprecate until the customer deprecates. There's a reason that people trust Amazon with their compute, and that's because in regards to their technology they're trustworthy.
