I noticed the EOL policy states that minor versions will be supported for 18 months from initial release, and the initial release blog post of 2.11 mentions an EOL of 2022-04-23, but I don't see 2.11.17 in the Solidus changelog to calculate its EOL date. Closest release is 2.11.15 on 2022-03-10 which I think implies we're still OK on this version for a bit.
Is there a table anywhere showing the EOL dates for different Solidus versions? If not that might be an awesome addition to that EOL policy page. 🙂

Good call anyway, we should probably fix the language in the security page to clarify that 👍

Solidus versions will receive security patches for 18 months after their initial release.https://solidus.io/security/

Just out of curiosity, where else did you find that info? maybe I can add a link back to the security page from there

This end of life policy affects all minor versions of Solidus following 2.0.
