&lt;p&gt;26.1 support ends 27 Feb (26.2 release), but policy allows flexible timing post-expiration for upgrades. Grace period exists via hotfixes/support while remediating deprecations; follow non-prod -&amp;gt; test -&amp;gt; prod process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
