It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

    Lol only for smartphones, and I don’t think that’s something to be proud of. When it comes to computers, you’ll get 10+ years out of Windows and basically indefinite from any major Linux distro. A Mac will only get 5-8 years of updates and it’s a huge issue because things like your browser won’t be maintained either, which makes the computer quickly become useless. Hell Apple actually charges $20 just to install old versions of macOS for old hardware.

    Pretty damn sad that people have set the bar on the floor for phones
