I think many people had presumed this was the path that Dynamics GP was taking but my understanding is that Microsoft had never outlined it as clearly as this and the fact that Microsoft outlined it in front of customers right alongside partners.
There are other versions of Dynamics GP which are on extended extended( Microsoft offers all manner of extended support for a price ) so I believe the "shocker" here is that Microsoft spelled out that the end of Feature Updates for Microsoft GP.
IMO, this is largely the same thing that Sage seems to be doing for their on-prem products although we've yet to see as direct announcement.
