[DOCS] EOL Policy #28

@lmeyerov

Description

@lmeyerov

We should have an explicit EOL policy guide and, potentially, an explicit support matrix. We can then move version numbers out of other docs.

Currently available:

Graphistry EOL policy is:

  • API deprecation:
    -- Avoid most deprecations by making new APIs additive vs. breaking
    -- Aim for 1+ year notification window when unavoidable
    -- Ex: We still support our 1.0 REST protocol, and are only now moving to officially deprecate it
  • Fixes go into new versions (vs. LTS patching)
  • Document breaking changes in the release changelog, as well as significant internal infra upgrades
  • Connectors: Latest major version of a product; we will be revisiting in Q2/Q3 for supporting multi-major-versions (e.g., we support both Neo4j 3 + Neo4j 4)
  • Manual support: 2yr old version for enterprise, 1yr old for cloud
