[Opendnssec-develop] Maintenance of releases

Hi developers,

Now that we have 1.4.0 released, maintenance of old releases deserves
some more attention. The wiki says "foo will be supported until at
least one year after boink".

I want to propose to remove the "at least" parts. Moreover, on the
wiki we can maintain the EOL date of older versions. 1.2 and older are
already EOL. When 2.0 is released, we can put EOL dates on 1.3 and 1.4.

I believe this will provide more clarity to the users. "At least" adds
an uncertainty. If we have had more than a year of support on older
releases, how long will we still continue to support?

Also, if we do want to provide longer support, it's easier to make the
call to extend the support with for example 6 months (updating the EOL
to the future) than to say "and now it's done".

Thoughts?

Best regards,
  Matthijs
