< Apologies in advance for a post that may encourage massive speculation! >
I don't have a point here, I just started noticing Obsolescence Statements for various products on raspberrypi.com, and then I went searching for them:
1. the Pi 2 isn't even mentioned on the products page, and has the earliest date (2026), so it's really deprecated
2. the Pi 400 is that same earliest date (2026), and it doesn't have an existing replacement. so still linked to from the products page, but it will probably be replaced before then.
3. the Pi 3 Model B (2028) will go before the 3 B+ and 3 A+ (2030)
4. the Pi 4 Model B and it's case (2034) will last longer than other related products, like the Kit (2026) or peripherals like the 15W Power Supply (2028)
5. there's no stated date for the Pi 5, but related bits are set to last until 2035 or 2036
6. I'm amazed that the Model 1 is expected to remain so long (2030)
7. I'm surprised that the Zero and Zero W are expected to last as long as the Zero 2 W.
