In fact, this makes me question how it works in OpenStack in general. It 
feels like many projects are doing their ways, and deprecating old 
branches in different ways. Sometimes, this happens when a CVE can't be 
addressed in a proper way.

So I wonder: what's the promised lifecycle of a release, and why this is 
different depending on the project? Aren't we committed to maintain at 
last the latest 3 releases? If so, then deprecating any branch before 
Yoga is currently fine, no? If so, why are projects keeping stable 
branches opened for longer?
