MSXML support and end of life

I am trying to confirm whether this Microsoft page regarding MSXML is still accurate i.e. whether MSXML DLL v6 is still in support by Microsoft and when does the support end.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/troubleshoot/msxml/list-of-xml-parser-versions

Note the page is from 2016.

Where can I confirm this is the case - cannot seem to find any Microsoft support site to use.

    Hi @deanwarrenuk ,

    Microsoft is now only using the page below for product and services lifecycle support:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/

    I couldn't find MSXML 6.0 there, but only 4.0, but by looking at all the official Microsoft download links for MSXML 6.0 which are down, it appears that it would be no longer supported, however I cannot confirm this.

    You could raise an issue over HERE and ask Microsoft directly.
