The original statement was: "There is no reason to use 4.5 further because 
the newly released 6.0 has the same expiration time as 4.5". Now imagine 
that I come to the customer and say: "Hey, you now have to update to 6.0 
because it ends on the same day as 4.5!". I am quite sure the customer 
would ask: "Why can't I use 4.5 until it ends? I do not want to pay for 6.0 
if the end on the same date. I already paid for 4.5 and want to use it 
until it ends. I will upgrade to a newer version when 4.5 ends."

Isn't it logical?
