EOL is pretty "de facto" imo but perhaps "community maintenance mode" is 
a better descriptor because it is always only in "maintenance mode" 
after initial release as far as I understand. Otherwise, i think the 
changes send the right message to the community without getting terribly 
pedantic. I also champion the inclusion of the legacy key with the 
distro because i think it is asking a lot of the user base to have them 
"hand configure" their package management tool just to maintain updates 
that are already "blessed" official. -mf
