Does NextJS have support/deprecation policies and are they documented somewhere?

Hi everybody.
I have been reading docs trying to find out what the support/deprecation policy is for NextJS.
What I am looking for is something like:
* What major versions are currently supported (receiving security patches)?
* Are there a defined timetable for when specific versions will be deemed EOL?
* Are there any deprecation policies in place for old features (like the switch from "page router" to "app router" - when to expect support for the "page router" to be dropped)?
Do you by any chance know the answer to any of the above or about a place to find such information - any help or hints in the direction will be much appreciated 🙂

I am not part of the team hence can’t give you the team’s answer, but
* Only v13 is receiving patches at the moment. Upgrading from v12 to v13 (pages router) is very easy so idt they will release patches for v12 ever again
* I would say when the next major is released.
* Each old feature has their own deprecation policy. For example head.js (app router) is already gone,

@next/font the package will be gone in v14, while the pages router will continue to be supported with security updates, bug fixes and feature improvements for “several future major versionsâ€
