Commercial transition
Previous stateCloud apps did not have the published 18-month version-update checkpoint under the new active-maintenance review policy.
→New stateAn app crossing the checkpoint enters mandatory review and may face visibility or enforcement action if the vendor does not return it to compliance.
Who is affected
Atlassian Marketplace cloud-app vendors, customers and procurement or risk teams monitoring app maintenance.
Action required
Track release age, respond to compliance notices and communicate remediation or transition plans to installed customers.
Evidence boundary
The 18-month point is a review trigger, not automatic proof of insecurity or immediate removal. Compliance windows, customer transition periods and limited exceptions are not fully quantified in the source.
