So, I can still boot Win11 on my box, because it's grandfathered in,
from 2021.  OK.  Great.  Nah, I'll stick with Linux, thanks.

 
That is honestly very interesting. It's looking like Microsoft is
borrowing Apple's approach to support.

Good. It's about damn time.  Very hard to move forward when you are still
supporting ancient hardware (and software).

And let's face it.  To have any future at all, Windows desperately needs to
move forward.

I suppose that I should be
expecting my own processor to be unsupported with a future release.

See above.
