Pedantry, but from the same document:

"End of Service Contract Renewal Date: HW
 The last date to extend or renew a service contract for the product.
 December 28, 2016"

You can only order new ones until September 2012, but you can buy
support extending well into 2017. That should cover an expected lifetime
of five years.

I know little about LAC/LNS routers, but what about some of the ISR G2
models like 3945 or similar? Can they not perform those duties?
