Before RHEL 9 was released we had to use an estimate for this. Now that we know the exact date of the end of the RHEL 9 "full support" phase, we can just use it directly.

bstinson commented 2 years ago

I have a couple of concerns.
- We must keep a link to the RHEL support phases documentation, it's important that we link to where the date is derived from because this is not a date chosen directly by the Project
- We also must make it clear that the documentation is the source of truth. I don't expect this to happen, but if the RHEL support phase is extended we would match any new date documented on that page

I have a couple of ideas that we can chat about for making this more clear.

Rebased on main and updated to link to the RHEL phases for all the EOL dates.
