Lifecycle planning / end-of-life?

[MikeMcC399]

Documentation for Yarn v1 Classic clearly says that it entered maintenance mode in January 2020, that it is frozen and users are recommended to migrate to Yarn Modern aka Berry (currently v4.x). I don't see any mention of an end-of-life / end-of-support date anywhere.

Conversely Yarn > Migrating from 1.x / npm > Benefits says "While the Yarn Classic line (1.x) remains a pillar of the JavaScript ecosystem ...", which seems to acknowledge the continued widespread use of Yarn Classic.

Are there any plans to declare an end-of-life date for Yarn v1?
