End of Life (EOL)-This includes initiatives and technologies that are retired from service and are removed from the architecture and list of core services.

Wiki MarkupLeo mentioned that he has a template for use with technologies and initiatives in the "watch" phase, capturing comments and information as they move to the R&D phase. \ [AI\] Leo will send the list a link to his common template.

He also uses a technology matrix. This provides a way to track the people watching technologies and initiatives, based on the person's area of specialization.
