Editorial interest 70/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An initiative to standardize how software and hardware vendors and open-source maintainers exchange end-of-life and end-of-support information.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-23 issue.
For
Software and hardware lifecycle maintainers
Worth noticing
The homepage names Cisco, Dell Technologies, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Red Hat among supporters of new lifecycle guidance.

Field notes

The page frames inconsistent lifecycle-status representation as the problem and presents a shared framework as its answer. It links to an OpenEoX paper and GitHub repository, though the extracted homepage does not expose the standard’s fields or implementation details. The page reports support from several major technology companies; that support is a claim presented by the initiative, not independently verified here.
