If there isn't a policy, I'm in favor of something like "when the announcement about EOL falls off the front page" or "3 months after EOL" - or both if accompanied with a phrase like "whichever comes first" or "whichever comes later".We don't have one — I remember that we talked about this when 5.3 was getting close to EOL (and, unfortunately, can't find the conversation now, nor even remember if it was via e-mail or IRC), but I don't think anything concrete came out of that besides "we'll keep it for now and assess the situation as we go". EOL +3 months seems like a fairly sensible guideline to me, in which case we hit that tomorrow for 5.3. Any objections to my removing 5.3 from the home and downloads pages tomorrow?
