I disagree. SE in general has long had a principle of challenging people doing stupid things (cf. glass bottles and shoes). So having a decision made for bettering some situation in general seems to me to be a perfectly fine thing to do considering SE ethos.
Those who want to help some business doing crappy things for business reasons are more than welcome to do so elsewhere. I don't see why this site should be place for that. There are other places, let them go there.
Eh, if some random company decides to make some decision for "business" reasons, they can damn well pay for it. Expecting the community to support their business is just pure entitlement.
@Levente a closed question might get deleted after a while if it has zero or negative score and no upvoted or accepted answers... basically if no one felt anything in it was useful. But they remain visible and accessible until deletion. I don't think there's a benefit to keeping these open, but if people start mass-closing questions just because the version went EOL, our already-busy review queues would be absolutely flooded.
(Also, don't worry too much about comments. They're not meant to stick around - any truly important information should be added to the post as the comments can be, and often are, deleted any time for any or no reason.)
@RishonJR that doesn't necessarily mean the tag is required either - unless there are users who're following the tag, there is nothing particularly useful that the tag does that you can't do with a search. It's just noise. I notice that no one is piping up about following the tag.
