    <p>3.13.0, the last 3.x.0 release, was released on 2017-12-01. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Ubuntu supports LTS releases for 7 years, Red Hat, 10 years.</p>
    <p>I would assume that storage is one of those things that should be
      expected to work over the life of an enterprise software release
      cycle which would imply 7-10 years or somewhere between 2024 and
      2027, imho.</p>

          <div>In my opinion this should stay for at least another year!
            Especially because we still have products and user
            deployment which use 3.x version in them. While we say from
            community that we don't 'support' any old version, giving
            them option (or more time) to shift their clients to higher
            version after an upgrade is crucial for the project.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>Also, unlike many other code we removed (For example,
            RDMA / Tiering etc), this is not adding any complexity or
            dependency issues to the codebase.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>I am <b>not</b> in favour of removing the old xdr format
            codebase yet. Happy to hear what others think.</div>
