    True, but running EOL software that doesn’t receive updates to known vulnerabilities isn’t really an option.

      Yeah, but that’s always been true of paid software licenses for a particular version: it reaches EOL and you have to decide whether to live with the possibility of unpatched known vulnerabilities or pay for an upgrade to a more recent release.

      MS Office has been doing this from back in the Windows 3.0 days at least.
