Hello,

The page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy/EOL
is out of date, pre-merge. I would like to update it, however I cannot
find an explanation of the current scheedule, there is only something
about the releases,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Schedule
I can't find the description of the EOL. Unless I am wrong, F-N+2 is EOL
one month after the release of F-N, but I don't know exaclty when events
relevant for packagers happen, like when new branches for packages
aren't created anymore, or when the builds are stopped for real happen.

If you give me some information or link to a page explaining the
EOL schedule, I'll update.

New branches are no longer allowed for N-2 when N is released.
New builds are no longer allowed at N release + 1 month.

Exceptions can be made if warented, I guess by petitioning FESCo about
it.

I fixed it. There is no expanded version anymore, since I didn't know
what more to add.
