As topic says… I noticed in the repo there are still commits for Cake 2.x but was wondering if there will be an end of life date for it? I work for a huge project that is still on 2.x so migrating to 3.x isn’t a top priority right now.

> Long Term Support for 2.x  
> 2.x has enjoyed a long life. Given the rate of issues being opened, and pull requests being created for 2.x, 2.10 will be the last 2.x release. We recognize that there are still a number of applications running on 2.x so we plan on supporting 2.x with:  
> Bug fixes for 12 months after the release of 4.0.0.  
> Security fixes for 18 months after the release of 4.0.0.  
> After that point, 2.x will become unmaintained and receive no further updates.  
> As always these timelines and milestone scope are not finalized, and we’d like to get your feedback and involvement in this process.
