Unless we have reason to change > it or that page is wrong? By default, the EOL dates are automatically calculated based on when the first release on a branch occurred, but these can be overridden as needed — see https://github.com/php/web-php/blob/master/include/branches.inc#L5-L21 for the gory details. I believe I set the 5.4 dates based on e-mails last year, but don't have the references to hand. If we have specific dates in mind for 5.4 and 5.5, I'm happy to update the Web site to match (and do whatever Twitter publicity is required via @official_php). > In general, it would be nice to have a pre-announced final release > instead of announcing it post-factum. Agreed. Adam
