Are you sure? I think the actual support lifetimes were longer than
that (e.g. 6.2 came out before support for 4.2 was dropped).


I could most likely be wrong. I did installation support for a large
part of that time, and I didnt remember any 4.2 tickets after 5.2.. So
it could have been the a different major.minor release date.

Given a 36 month support lifetime what would expected end of life be

     Released    End of Life?
4.2    1997-05    2000-05
5.2    1998-10    2001-10
6.2    2000-03    2003-03
7.3    2002-05    2005-05
9.0    2003-04    2006-04
