chore: prefer EoL capitalization of EOL by MattIPv4 · Pull Request #8824 · nodejs/nodejs.org

MattIPv4 · 2026-04-16T21:51:55Z

Description

Weird, I feel we should use EoL as it is the proper capitalization of End-of-Life.

I've currently included updating all the translations here, as it is just a search/replace operation, but I can drop that commit if that should be left to Crowdin instead.

Validation

All references to EOL, outside of historical blog posts, updated to use EoL.

PR Summary

Low Risk
Primarily a naming/copy consistency change; the main risk is missing a EOL reference leading to mismatched status comparisons or incorrect UI filtering.

Overview
Standardizes the Node.js release status constant from EOL to EoL end-to-end, updating NodeReleaseStatus, the release data generator (getNodeReleaseStatus), UI mappings (STATUS_KIND_MAP / status ordering), and UI conditionals (EoL tables + alert box).

Updates tests and a broad set of site content/i18n strings and docs to use the preferred EoL capitalization in user-facing copy.

Did I ignore some random sites that were EoL? Yes, but the above lists is cherry picked to show how engrained EOL is within our ecosystem and other foundation partners.

ovflowd · 2026-04-17T07:15:31Z

OOC, why is it EOL and not EoL? Shouldn't EoL be the right capitalization? Anyways, fine to leave as-is.

bmuenzenmeyer · 2026-04-17T12:26:31Z

OOC, why is it EOL and not EoL?

I think it's fair criticism, and I tried finding authoritative grammar guides to this effect, and gave up with myself and a couple sources concluding "English doesn't always make sense..."

most initialisms as pronounced letter by letter. We do that too here, EOL... E-O-L
Acronyms on the other hand are pronounced as a word. NASA, not N-A-S-A. Which we choose for each circumstance seems to be "common knowledge"... unwritten rules.
many acronyms and initialisms are proper nouns themselves, and are all capped to separate themselves from prose
to confuse matters more, many initialisms or acronyms do drop minor words. FBI, OPEC... so if anything, it should be EL, not EOL or EoL (lets not do this)
initialisms we use fully and don't think twice about (LGTM, ASAP, PTAL)
