Vim development does not maintain multiple branches.
Only the tip of the master branch is maintained.

So I don't think it makes much sense to talk about end of life
for those vim versions. If a bug is found, it is only fixed in the
latest Vim.

I can't think of good reasons to continue using such old versions
anyway. They are missing thousands of bug fixes. Best to clone
vim from git, and build it, or download the latest pre-built snapshot
if available for your platform.
