I love the way they can't even give a straight answer to their own questions:

"Does this mean Microsoft is changing the support lifecycle policy for Internet Explorer?"

"The latest version of Internet Explorer will continue to follow the component policy, which means that it follows the support lifecycle and is supported for as long as the Windows operating system on which it is installed. Focusing support on the latest version of Internet Explorer for a supported Windows operating system is in line with industry standards."

A simple yes or no will do.
