We don't have a clear EOL schedule for stable releases. Historically, stable
releases only lasted until the next release cycle so in by that logic, 0.15 is EOL.
Obviously, part of creating a regular cadence for stable releases and getting
more people involved is to formalize this all quite a bit more.
