We're using the definition a few notches upthread: "Dear manager, for the next weeks/sprint the team needs X days to upgrade the software to version x.x.x otherwise it will stop working"

As opposed to:

2011: deploy website, turn on windows update

2011-2019: lead life as normal

2019: website is up and running, serving webpages, and not part of a botnet.

That's reality today, and if it helps to refer to it as "maintained", that's fine. The point is that it's preferable to the alternative.

I think that the parent commenter is referencing node 4.3 being past EOL and being unmaintained software and therefore unfit for prod, unlike the ms stack which is receiving patches

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework_version_history begs to differ.

node, not .net

I was referring to comments that MS is good at backwards compatibility and “if you write application, it will run forever” and I pointed out that MS also breaks backward compatibility what regards languages.
