Each XCP release corresponds to a commercially supported version of
XenServer. I would say that when the corresponding version of XenServer
is EOL, you should stop using that version of XCP. FYI, XCP 1.6 is the
same as XenServer 6.1.

Note that I am not saying that Citrix will provide commercial support
for XCP.
