The OGC has announced the date and time of the end:
OGC has considered these findings alongside its own requirements for the maintenance of the ITIL product set, and agreed that:
a. Withdrawal will be product based, with all language variants for individual qualifications and publications being removed at the same time.
b. Removal of version2 will complete on 30 June 2011. Specific product withdrawal will be as follows:
- V2 Foundation to cease 30 June 2010
- V2 Manager to cease 31 August 2010
- V2 Practitioner to cease 31 Dec 2010
- Foundation Bridge to cease 31 Dec 2010
I wonder if they followed the ITIL v3 guidelines for a Service Lifecycle, specifically the part about Service Transition:

They must not have read Bill's Mitigating Risk for End-of-Life Technology.
