Not EXACTLY sure if applicable, but here goes:
* I used to manage EOL notifications for a semiconductor co. There is an industry-std process for doing so.
* EOL announcements came with pre-warning timelines. 12 months' warning, for example.
* EOL dates were usually shared only with verified customers to keep the churn to a minimum. Alternative suppliers (with SKUs) were encouraged.
* Product lines with EOL data was kept on a firewalled site for sales & customer lookups.
* There were a couple of 3rd party & startup cos that tried to aggregate EOL dates, with minimal success.
