    Intentionally misleading title.

    They are changing the support horizon for new sales only, not ending anything early.

      It also sounds like these devices _will be supported_ but not by updating ChromeOS, instead by upgrading to Googlebook OS.

        FTFY

      Also technically they can only break the promise by not providing the support in 8 years, which we cannot know until 8 years from now. Right now it's just a claim that some support won't be available after 8 years.
