Is NumPy end-of-life?
No — NumPy still has supported release lines (2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1). But individual older versions are end-of-life, so what matters is the specific version you run.
How do I know when my NumPy version reaches end of life?
Check the version you run on its product page, or monitor NumPy on IsItPatched to get an email alert before the release line you use reaches end-of-life — so you can upgrade in time.
