To account for this, we no longer support any software or operating system after the date that the maintainers have marked said software or operating system as End of Life, hereafter referred to as "EOL". However, this does not mean we will always immediately remove code that allows for the module to run on EOL'd software or operating systems, but the community will no longer be expected to provide support to users for that software. The list of supported operating systems in `metadata.json` is always leading.

If a user still needs to use the EOL operating system, then they must either:

* Pin their module version to a version compatible with their operating system.
* Fork the module and maintain it internally.

### Support Lifecycle

#### Operating Systems

An Operating System is no longer considered supported once it reaches an EOL date determined by the upstream maintainer* of the operating system. To ensure our users have enough time to adjust, we will take the following steps to ensure as seamless of a transition as possible:

see, you're like me. You prefer readable source and don't mind taking a little extra time to do it, while some folks prefer quieter pull requests. I say turn on 'ignore whitespace' and go for it.
