Where do you see v3 is no longer officially supported?

This is from their blog when they announced Bootstrap 4

"When we shipped Bootstrap 3, we immediately discontinued all support for v2.x, causing a lot of pain for all our users out there. That was a mistake we won’t be making again. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be maintaining Bootstrap 3 with critical bug fixes and documentation improvements. v3 docs will also continue to be hosted after v4’s final release."

Essentially they've stopped working on v3. I don't think they used the words "no longer supported", but that's kind of what has happened.

Bootstrap 3 will still get bugfixes. Under the Internet Explorer section on [0]:

> If you require IE8-9 support, use Bootstrap 3. It’s the most stable version of our code and is still supported by our team for critical bugfixes and documentation changes. However, no new features will be added to it.

I'm not sure "no more forward feature development" translates to "no support".
It seems that V3 is mature enough to not need daily PRs to fix bugs.
