Libreoffice won't even support Windows XP anymore, but the British National Health Service is still running a few thousand copies and getting ransomware. My goodness.

Also Chrome and Firefox don't support XP anymore.
But until the last version still works many people won't upgrade.

Also many idiot-lead institutions, of course. Let them get ransomwared to the ground, that's the only way they could learn.

5.3 support won't end immediately when 5.4 is released. And even when it does, you can still get longer support via Collabora Office.

There has been a mistake in the release notes - actually the situation hasn't change. We didn't drop "support" for XP (if by support it means that it still runs on XP) and won't drop it as long as the build tools and libraries we use support it. On the other hand, if there is a bug unique to XP there is no guarantee it will ever be fixed and if forced we will drop support for XP immediately.
