I think it's "quiet" in the sense that they don't send a push notification to affected phones when they're about to go EOL, so you don't know it happens unless you go out of your way to check.
- jeffparsons 4y agoOr put the EOL in the final OS update for that phone, with a permanent status icon / notification warning that the device is EOL. It's not like they decide at their morning stand-up, "hey, Pixel 2 has been out for a while; anyone object to killing it off today?" There's plenty of time to roll that sort of thing out, however it works under the hood.
