 ## Support policy 
 
-Major version releases of extension bundles can occur when there are breaking changes or updates in the dependencies of the underlying binding extensions. These breaking changes, often introduced in Azure SDKs, require updates to the bundle to remain compatible.  
-
-Each major version of an extension bundle is supported for a minimum of 12 months after the next major version is released. This overlap period gives you time to plan, test, and upgrade your apps before the previous version is retired.

 You can view the extension bundle versions and their included extensions in the [Azure Functions Extension Bundles GitHub repo](https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-extension-bundles/releases). Individual .NET packages are found on [https://nuget.org](https://nuget.org). 
 
-### Notification phase 
-
-Microsoft provides advance notice before retiring an extension bundle or binding extension version. When you receive such a notification, you should begin planning to upgrade your function apps to a latest supported extension bundle version. This upgrade ensures that your apps continue to access new features, performance improvements, and support.

-### Retirement phase 
+The removal of support for previously GA bundles follows these phases:
 
-After the retirement of an extension bundle or binding extension version, function apps that use retired versions can still be created and deployed and continue to run on the platform. However, your function apps aren’t eligible for new features, security patches, and performance optimizations until you upgrade them to use a supported extension bundle version. You must upgrade your functions apps to a supported bundle version before you can receive support.
