I don't think we should do this for 7.1 as people may have planned based on the current lifecycle.. So, perhaps say after 7.1.

If that's the case then this table here would need to be updated instead as it uses 6 month of support for 7.1

I'm saying the table would stay the same, only future version would be affected by the policy, e.g. 7.3.

@SteveL-MSFT said that we should be following .NET. And their policy is 6 months.
