Hi,

First of all, sorry for the late response.

About EOLing Ocata and Pike: Extended Maintenance was formed just to 
have a common place for interested parties, vendors, operators, to push 
bugfixes to. Currently these branches are in a good shape, check / gate 
jobs work and as far as I see there are a couple of backports, too (not 
too many, though). So hopefully it's not a waste of efforts. Why don't 
we keep them open as long as the CI works and there are patches? Of 
course, whenever e.g. Ocata branch / CI becomes unmaintainable (zuul v3 
incompatibilities) or there aren't anyone who fixes the issues there, we 
can put it to EOL then.
I write this, because my employer supports Extended Maintenance, and I 
usually try to fix CI issues on stable branches and reviewing patches 
there. So maybe I can be some help here, too. Please consider leaving 
branches in Extended Maintenance open as long as they are in a good 
shape and there are bugfixes coming.

Thanks,

Előd
