Its not broke -- it simply doesnt exist anymore. That is what "end of life"
(aka death) means.

You are refered to folks doing L3 support for LibreOffice with that -- as this
is a promise that is entirely unreasonable to ask of this community. And with
that this also ends the topic for this list.

_Iff_ you throw huge amounts of money at a L3 supporter and have bought support
from Microsoft[1] for the OS you want to base on, you might get lucky there.
But as said that is not an issue for this list. The topic has been discussed
conclusively on the ESC before and there are no new facts to waste its time on this
again.

Best,

Bjoern



[1] Because while asking for support of newer LibreOffice versions on Windows
    XP is already a painful thought, doing the same on Windows XP without having
    support for _that_ is even more nonsense.
