End-Of-Life Date for Classic ASP?

[=?Utf-8?B?RHlsYW5TbWl0aA==?=]

Is there an end-of-support date for Classic ASP?

For example, I know that VB6 standard support ended sometime around March
2005, and extended support was available until around March 2008.

Is there a similar end-of-support date(s) for Classic ASP?

I believe it is already past-support. it certainly is not having new
features developed for is.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't use it ...

Although it is not being developed any further, as for being past support,
this tends to suggest otherwise:

Thanks. I guess it all comes down to the definition of "end-of-support".

That thought ocurred to me as I posted, but I interpreted the question in
the way that most similar questions are phrased, as in "If I spend a load of
time building a classic ASP app, how long can I rely on there being a
supported platform to run it on?" or "Will I be forced to migrate my classic
ASP apps anytime soon?"
