Today at the Designate PTG session we discussed the number of stable branches (10) we are carrying for Designate and the lack of interest in maintaining them. For example, there has not been a patch merged on the Queens branch for over two years.

Based on the discussion, and lack of patches merged to the older branches, I am proposing we move the Queens, Rocky, Stein, and Train stable branches from extended maintenance to end-of-life status.

The definition of this process is part of the project team guide[1].

I plan to propose patches for the required changes next week. If you would like to maintain one of these branches, please respond to this email and post a patch to the branch to resolve any existing issues on the older branches.
