it doesn't really change anything

The timeline for dropping support of point releases is important. The rest is mainly about improving communication: Many users were not aware that we supported releases for 5 years, for example, because all they ever saw was the advertised "12 months" or "24 months" for point releases.



Yes, the understanding for how long point releases will be supported makes a lot of sense and will definitely help. The rest (5 year support timeline) was already something I understood from having followed the project for some time, I just didn't understand if this announcement changed my understanding thereof.
