I think this can be a little too fluid. What if one release takes 3 
years to get out? Sure, it isn't currently likely but still. My 
recommendation is 3 years for standard support, 5 years for EOL support. 
After five years, we move on.

Standard Support:

Bug fixes relating to security or data loss

EOL Support:

Security fixes only
