In a PDI / personal developer instance (Xanadu) I noticed a Life Cycle Stage "End of Operation" in addition to "End of Life". Also, the life cycle mappings contain records for End of Operation.
I cannot find further info on the topic. Any references welcome.

That's an interesting one. I can see both "End of Life" and "End of Operation" stages in my demo instance also, but as you say, there does not seem to be any reference to "End of Operation" in the documentation.
There is a "CMDB Lifecycle Stage and Stage Status Migration" PPT that describes the Stage and Status values for various object types, but that also fails to mention "End of Operation". I also notice that when I look at the Life Cycle Control table, it seems that the "End of Operation" entries only relate to alm_asset, whereas "End of Life" also applies to CI tables. Also notice a couple of repeated status values between the two.
Sorry, not a super helpful repsonse, but definitely peaked my curiosity. Hoping someone can provide a little more insight.
Regards,
David
