Even Steve can get it a bit wrong sometimes.

As explained in the article, support isn't cut. At. All. AMD just moved them to a separate branch of the AMD driver so special optimisations with the hardware of RDNA3 and later in mind doesn't break functionality of older GPUs. They will still get full support from AMD other than that and maybe lack some Day-1 optimizations for new releases.

Similar thing with Windows 10: Windows 10 is cut from the supported OS list because Microsoft ended the support of the OS - but it will still supported for the foreseeable future.
