      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Feature request to include additional field "SUPPORT_END in /etc/os-release file

      This feature would allow  to programmatically pull EOL data.

      Currently, the feature is available in Fedora:

      SUPPORT_END= 
          The date at which support for this version of the OS ends. (What exactly "lack of support" means varies between vendors, but 
          generally users should assume that updates, including security fixes, will not be provided.) The value is a date in the ISO 8601 
          format "YYYY-MM-DD", and specifies the first day on which support is not provided. 

          For example, "SUPPORT_END=2001-01-01" means that the system was supported until the end of the last day of the previous millennium. 

          Added in version 252.
