[Oisf-users] Suricata 4.0 rule fork

[Victor Julien]

This is probably a good moment to mention our EOL policy again:

1. all branches before 3.2 are end of life (EOL)
2. 3.2 will be EOL next month
3. everybody should be running 4.0.x or have an upgrade plan for it

See https://suricata-ids.org/about/eol-policy/

Cheers,
Victor
