This doesn't help you for train, but may save you some headaches in
the future?  You can keep an eye out for <branch>-em tags arriving.
They're created when a project moves into Extended Maintenance mode.
That's a pretty good signal that downstream consumers should expect
the branch to translation to -eol "soon".  Soon is hard to define but
essentially it's a 6 month warning.
