However, if I have to choose something I would like to understand why all of a sudden December 31 become a valid date. It is unrelated to 7 release date (December 3rd) and has no relevance whatsoever but easier to remember. Given this, I would propose to either add, change or update the options with: - makes 5.6 deadlines match 7 release date and support lifetime . Active support until December 3rd 2017, . Active support extended to one year, end December 3rd, 2017 . And the options for the security support, one or two years - no change, as stick to what we clearly and openly define in the lifecycle page (http://php.net/supported-versions.php) and extend security support to 2 years (ending on 28 Aug 2018) I had to go with make the dates match with no change, eventually adding one year for security support as I consider extending the active support at this stage as a mistake and bad usage of our limited resources.
