Publish the dates when products will become 'legacy'

Just received the legacy email that tells me that half my 10 unit system will be obsolete from May.  So it appears that I can either pile more money into Sonos, accept that my modern equipment (less than 2 years old) will no longer be updated because I have the audacity of being a long term customer or go somewhere else.  

 

So I can make an informed decision Sonos must now publish the support windows for all products currently available.  At least try to recover some credability.

    Hi Stueys, our commitment is to support products with software updates for a minimum of five years after we stop selling them, and we have a track record of supporting for longer.

    If you have a Connect or Connect:Amp that was purchased from Sonos in the last 5 years brand new, it won’t be affected by the end of software updates coming in May. The newer Connect and Connect:Amps have different computing hardware and are able to keep up with our modern devices.

    The year and date of manufacture are the 4 digits (ex. 1601C) before the serial number, found on the label on the bottom.  Year 15 is not certain, but 16 or later denotes a modern item.
