<div class="x_ContentPasted0">Hi,</div>
<div><br class="x_ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">As more and more teams decide about moving their Queens branches to End of</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">Life, it looks like the time has come to transition the complete Queens</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">stable release for every project.</div>
<div><br class="x_ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">The reasons behind this are the following things:</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">- gates are mostly broken</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">- minimal number of bugfix backports are pushed to these branches</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">- gate job definitions are still using the old, legacy zuul syntax</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">- gate jobs are based on Ubuntu Xenial, which is also beyond its public</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0"> maintenance window date and hard to maintain</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">- lack of reviews / reviewers on this branch</div>
<div><br class="x_ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">Based on the above, if no objection comes from teams, then I'll start</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">the process of EOL'ing Queens stable series.</div>
<div><br class="x_ContentPasted0">
</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">Please let the community know what you think, or indicate if any of the</div>
<div class="x_ContentPasted0">projects' stable/queens branch should be kept open in Extended Maintenance.</div>
