Yes, fully agreed. I'd much rather have longer support for 4.x than 5.x.

We still have lots of machines running 4.11 here.

I fully agree with the delay in the 4x EOL. I know many people (including
myself) who still run 4.x in dead end hardware for home firewalls/gateways
and several other services that run in low, low end hardware. 4.x still has
reasons to live for quite a while :)
