End-of-life runtime transition: To focus our resources on maintaining high-quality, up-to-date runtimes, we’ll be completing the removal of several end-of-life runtimes in January 2026.

There are also 73 apps that I will try to update to a supported runtime version or warn about EOL. My goal is to start on March 1 and inform the developer about EOL, giving them one month of grace period.

Since I’m just a volunteer, none of them are official dates or actions.
