Moving forward, our current plan is to support each of the WA Releases for 5 years. This provides more structure and predictability for both our customers and our engineering teams. We are announcing the end of support dates for all supported versions of the WA Releases so that you know well in advance how many support years are left for a given release and can plan your upgrade projects accordingly. 

* An additional 12 months has been added to the EOS date for 12.2 to allow customers appropriate time to plan for an upgrade
