OpenAFS 1.8.0 was released in April 2018, and in the intervening time the efforts of the OpenAFS community have come to focus on the 1.8 series.  This change in focus is highlighted by noting that the last three 1.6-series releases have been security releases, the latest non-security release was 1.6.22.4 in 2018, and the latest feature release was 1.6.22 in 2017.  The OpenAFS project now considers 1.8 superior in terms of stability and reliability for all scenarios.

Effective immediately, the 1.6 series will only receive security updates.
After 31 December 2025, no further security patches will be issued for the 1.6 series.
