That's going to hurt a lot of folks. Especially those whose manufacturers are not doing their bit with respect to updates. It's absolutely incredible to me how sloppy manufacturers are when it comes to keeping phones updated, they seem to see phones that are older than two years as effectively end-of-life.
Even Google is guilty of this, though to a slightly lesser extent.
Personally I think that a phone is only end-of-life when it stops to work and that manufacturers should either offer to buy them back if they don't want to support them any longer or should be forced to provide security updates.

So three years or 18 months past sale.
