+This page lists the status, timeline and policy for currently supported releases of cert-manager.
 
-Each release is supported for a period of four months, and we aim to create a new
-release roughly every two months, accounting for holiday periods, major conferences
-and other world events.
+All cert-manager releases are supported at least until the release of a second subsequent version.
+That means there are always at least two supported versions of cert-manager at any given time,
+and possibly more if there's also a current Long Term Support version.
+
+We aim to do regular releases but release dates can vary when accounting for holidays,
+conferences (such as KubeCon), maintainer commitments and other world events.
