End of support column

I thought I would suggest adding a new column specifying end of support dates based on something like "Microsoft .NET Framework Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ". The reason is that specifies a complex end of support schedule based on different versions having been released differently (either independent product or component of something else like an OS release, etc.). 15.203.233.84 (talk) 23:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Hello! I have three reasons for opposing:
  1. As the source you gave says, .NET Framework support follows the support lifecycle policy of the parent operating system. We already have three templates in Wikipedia showing that. There is already too much emphasis on Windows support in Wikipedia.
  2. The underlying article does not discuss the support status in a meaningful manner. Without such an elucidation, WP:IINFO comes into play; Wikipedia is not a collection of dates for the sake of collecting dates.
  3. Most importantly, there is nothing encyclopedic to be said about the support for individual versions of .NET Framework. And that's exactly why Microsoft considers the framework a component. I'll keep an open mind, however, in case you can show me an example.
