Yes, Konstantin just ping'd me recently on this, and the final update will be out for review within a week; with a focus on just clear CVE like fixes and hence a relatively smaller queue size (i.e. nothing like 200 patches etc.) If you think it best to mark it EOL in advance of that last release, rather than waiting for it to appear, I don't see that as a problem.
