<h1>Information about releases that have reached "End-Of-Life" status</h1>
-<h2>OpenOffice.org 2.x series</h2>
-<p><em>22. December 2009:</em> A few weeks before the upcoming release of OpenOffice.org 3.2, the OpenOffice.org Community is formally announcing
-"End-Of-Life" (EOL) status for the legacy version 2.x series of its productivity suite.
-<br/><br/>
-With each new release, users are strongly encouraged to upgrade, to benefit from new features, bug fixes and security improvements.
-After a new major release, the Community supports legacy releases for a period of time to help users with upgrading and migrating.
-With version 3.x being available for more than 15 months now, the Community has decided it is time to cease maintaining the 2.x software.
-As a consequence, OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 will be the last release of the legacy 2.x series and no subsequent bugfixes or security releases will be made
-available.
-<br/><br/>
-This EOL policy only applies for the Community version of OpenOffice.org obtained via the
-<a href="http://download.openoffice.org" title="OpenOffice.org Download">download website</a>. Linux distributors and service companies often have their own
-product lifecycle policies and might support the productivity suite for a shorter or longer period of time.

<b>A:</b> Releasing bugfixes, patches and security improvements for older releases takes a lot of resources. Releasing legacy versions is as much effort as
releasing current versions, with localization and QA being involved. As most users upgrade to a new version in a short period of time, and as rollout cycles
in companies usually last from 3 to 12 months, the Community needs to concentrate its resources where they are most effective, in new versions.
