Sonatype Nexus Repository releases are considered generally available and fully supported for a term of 1 year after the version's release date.
At that point, Sonatype provides extended maintenance for each Sonatype Nexus Repository version for an additional 6 months before that version is considered sunset.
For versions requiring patch releases, the full version line (e.g., 3.53.0 - 3.53.1, 3.47.0 - 3.47.1) will use the dates of the initial major release (e.g., 3.53.0 or 3.47.0) to determine when the versions will move through the PDLC process.
