In the previous examples, I had given EoL dates allowing to have a 
lifetime of support about two years.

If it is not enough, a version, every two years approximately, could 
have a superior lifetime, by example four years.
The first one of theses long-term versions could be the 1.7/4.7 ones.

What do you think about it?
