They've tried that before.  They always end up supporting things beyond that
date, as large customers insist on it.  Notice that MS-DOS is still on the map,
and yet it has been around for a lot longer than five years!  It's nice to see
that they are actually trying to organize things, but they are still pretty
random about it, and I predict that there will be many "exceptions" to the rules
(as they themselves admit at the bottom of the page).

As for something being unsupported, that isn't a problem, as long as it is still
working.  I've never made a support call for any Microsoft product on my current
machine, as far as I can recall (even when it is "supported," you still have to
pay money for a support call, anyway).
