Question about EOL policy of regular (non-LTS) feature releases
Hello,

While checking FAQ page of "ClamAV EOL Policy"
(https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html), one question hits upon me.

In the page EOL policy of regular (non-LTS) feature releases is
described as following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-LTS feature releases will be supported with critical patch
versions for at least four (4) months from the initial publication
date of the next feature release or until the next-next feature
release is published.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the "Version Support Matrix" section of the page, however, expected
EOLs of regular feature releases are listed as following.

|Regular feature release | Expected EOL |
+------------------------+--------------------------+
|0.102 | 2022-01-03 (0.104 + 4 mo)|
|0.104 | 1.0 + 4 months |
|0.105 | 1.1 + 4 months |
|1.1 | 1.3 + 4 months |

Since the order of feature releases is 0.102, 0.103, 0.104, 0.105,
1.0, 1,1, ..., in this matrix expected EOLs of each release point to
four months after the *next-next* feature release. And actual EOLs of
0.102 and 0.104 seem to agree with it.

Then which is correct? Next + 4 months or next-next + 4 months?

Regards.
