[j-nsp] Junos EEOL releases confusion

[Paul Goyette]

9.3S5 _is_ a Service Release and it is fully supported.

It _is_ intended for production use.

E-EOL releases are maintained using the Service Release
mechanism, and, as you were told, there will be no more
"R" releases for 9.3.  Throughout the remainder of the
9.3 E-EOL support period, there will only be "S" releases.

Service Releases are made available to customers on an
as-needed basis.  You will be provided with a download
URL whenever a service release is recommended as the
resolution of a support case.

Release Notes are not provided for service releases; you
can obtain a list of "PRs fixed" from your support team.
