Surely it should be x years from the release of the next major version
or something Not x years from release. If we say End of Life is x
years from release then don't get round to releasing for ages a
version may reach end of life with nothing to replace it. (Which will
happen if we ever exhaust the To Do list (bit pie in the sky but never
mind))
