Documentation | ATS release support timeline

[vanand123]

As per https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/release-notes/roadmap.en.html#release-managers, ATS 8.x seems to be was supported till 3/2023. However, last 8.x release (8.1.11) was done recently on July 25th, 2024
Need to know if there is any change in EOS/EOL timeline of ATS 8.x, 9.x & 10.x

8.x is still EOL. I believe it was just extended because how we usually we work is there is one current release (10.x) and then the previous release (9.x) becomes "stable" with just bugfix and security releases. The 8.x release was because of CVEs discovered and because 10.x was not officially released at the time so 8.x was still being supported as the stable release. However 10.x is released as of August so at that point 8.x was considered EOL

As LTS cycle is 4 year, does it mean 9.x will get EOL this year on 3/2025 (as per https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/release-notes/roadmap.en.html#release-managers) or it will be supported and will receive security fixes until release of 11.x in around Aug 2026 or later ("1 major release every two years" as per https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/release-notes/roadmap.en.html#versions-compatibility-and-schedules) ?

It would be helpful to update https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/latest/release-notes/roadmap.en.html#current-release-schedule-and-support with proper timeline as it seems to differ if above is the case.
