How is this calendar maintained?
Entries are pulled from provider documentation by an automated weekly job and every one carries a link to its source. Nothing is inferred from blog posts or social media. When a provider changes a date, the change appears here after the next run and is visible in the changelog. The full calendar across all providers is on the deprecations page, and this provider’s own list is at Mistral deprecations.
