Hi Herve,
Please correct me, does that mean we have to also EOL stable/queens and stable/rocky for most of the other projects technically? Or it should be OK? Thanks.
I don't think we have to. I think it's not that common that we are using new versions of oslo libs in those stable branches so IMHO if all works fine for some project and it has maintainers, it still can be in EM phase. Or is my understanding wrong here?
The Oslo libs released for those versions will continue to work, so you're right that it wouldn't be necessary to EOL all of the consumers of Oslo. The danger would be if a critical bug were found in one of those old releases and a fix needed to be released. However, at this point the likelihood of finding such a serious bug seems pretty low, and in some cases it may be possible to use a newer Oslo release with an older service.

Hi,
On our last meeting of the oslo team we discussed the problem with broken stable branches (rocky and older) in oslo's projects [1].
Indeed, almost all these branches are broken. Előd Illés kindly generated a list of periodic-stable errors on Oslo's stable branches [2].
Given the lack of active maintainers on Oslo and given the current status of the CI in those branches, I propose to make them End Of Life.
I will wait until the end of month for anyone who would like to maybe step up as maintainer of those branches and who would at least try to fix CI of them.
If no one will volunteer for that, I'll EOLing those branches for all the projects under the oslo umbrella.
Let us know your thoughts.
Thank you for your attention.
