Hi all,
this mail did not follow the proper EOL process that is currently discussed.
In particular, this notice should not have been send out without explaining and discussing our new (RFC) EOL that explicitly encourage community maintenance of boards first.
So, please consider this mail void and stay tuned for future mails on this topic.
To make things clear: this means that beagle will not go EOL in January.
Sorry for any confusion and have a great christmas time and a happy new year.
