OVERVIEW OF SUPPORTED UPGRADE PATHS:

https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP6/html/SLES-all/cha-upgrade-paths.html#fig-update-sle-paths-overview

As discussed in bsc#1224312 (comment 25 onwards), SLE 11 is past LTSS so it makes sense to remove it from this diagram and from anywhere else it's mentioned in the upgrade guide.

I usually keep outdated releases around because I was told that while they are no longer officially supported, we want to enable customers to easily migrate to a supported release. If you hit any problems, SUSE support will help as long as the target of the migration is still maintained.

This is why I'm using two different wordings: Some upgrade paths are "not supported" and while others are "no longer supported". The latter implies it used to be supported and is just EOL, whereas "not supported" means not supported at all any you are on you own.

Michal, advise how to continue. Should I treat SLES 11 like other EOL releases or completely remove it?
