The status in the wiki can be updated.<br>

What is printed is the status at the point in the<br>
(sometime distant) past when a release was made.<br>
<br>
It is not uncommon for hardware to come with an example BSP based<br>
on an older release like for example Yocto 2.0.3 (sic) today.<br>
<br>
The Yocto 2.0.3 release shipped as part of this distribution would<br>
never print "End Of Life".<br>
