Jo Rhett has clearly stated (in offline reply) that they do not 
participate in the -BETA and-RC cycles leading up to -RELEASE, so they 
therefore do not have any issues with -RELEASE and EoL to raise.

Actually, they still have the same complaints to raise about EoL, but 
since they refuse to participate in the -RELEASE process, they do not 
have valid points to raise.

I ask that everyone please stop communicating with the persona known on 
this list as "Jo Rhett" unless and until they participate in the -BETA, 
-RC, and -RELEASE process.  You cannot raise any sort of valid complaint 
about -RELEASE, EoL or bugs if you do not participate in finding bugs 
during the -BETA and -RC stages prior to the -RELEASE.  If you instead 
choose to try to run -RELEASE and find bugs then, then complain about 
the bugs you found and continue to complain that these bugs were not 
found by someone else and fixed ahead of time, you have no issues and do 
not deserve an answer, no matter how much you try to frame it as a 
"policy" question.
