Capsule VPN for Windows 10 end of life with Windows 10 mobile?

What is the future of Capsule VPN for Windows 10 considering the fact that Windows 10 Mobile (for phones) is end of life on December of this year?

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?alpha=Windows%2010%20Mobile%20released%20in%20October%202017

From what I understand, Capsule VPN for Windows 10 was created for Windows phones.

So if Windows phones stop to exist, Capsule VPN for Windows 10 should stop to exist, right?

There is no mention of Capsule VPN at all on :

Support Life Cycle Policy | Check Point Software

Is Capsule VPN for Windows 10 dying in December 2019 too?

Since Capsule VPN is also relevant for Windows 10 Desktop, I don’t think it goes away.

That said, it’s merely a guess and I haven’t checked with R&D on that.

It was hard, but I managed to get a reply from R&D.

R&D responded: "We will continue the support of Capsule VPN for Windows 10 for non-mobile devices (Windows 10 Laptop + Desktop)."

Thanks!

We got another reply from Check Point today providing more details :

"Thank you for your patience. I have learned that our VPN client has reached end of engineering support (meaning no new updates/hotfixes will be created), however the technical support team will still provide best effort support for any issues that do not require new updates or hotfixes to resolved. Note, this means that there may be some issues that they cannot solve."
