9.3:
September 2018

Minor Releases:

November 8th, 2018
February 14th, 2019
May 9th, 2019
August 8th, 2019

The point is that 9.3 supposedly goes out of support in November 2018 but
the EOL Month is September, two months earlier. If it truly ended in
September the August release we just made would be the final one. But now
that its September the next one is final but won't happen for 2 months.
