Why this status?

Released 2021-10-06. Latest/final patch 6.49.20 (2026-07-06 per mikrotik.com changelogs — a security patch continued to ship after the endoflife.date-listed support-end date; MikroTik itself has NOT published a formal 'RouterOS 6 end of life' notice, see forum source). Treat the 2025-09-30 EOL date as the unofficial aggregator's assessment, not a MikroTik-issued deprecation date.
