[cisco-voip] it's official - 7940/60 EOL

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I think Cisco will point to the EOL if you ask them that question officially. Will they ever pull the 7940 from future versions so you can't configure them? I'm sure at some point in time they will say that in order to provide future features, they had to stop support some old phones.

My question is more about how does this affect compatibility with 
future versions of communications manager. You can setup some pretty 
old phones in current CM versions... are these end-of-support models 
going to continue working down the road? We don't buy smartnet on 
phones anyway, alot of people don't.
