How do you came to that conclusion?
11.2 will be supported until three month later than the date 11.3 is 
released.
So far 11.3 release has not been announced, so that's vague.

However 12.0 is expected to come out in November; let's assume 11.3 
comes out immediately after, that would mean 11.2 would be supported 
until February, so that's 6 month.
This schedule is however very unlikely, so I guess it's safe to assume a 
much longer period.

Unfortunately it seems "extended support" is gone, so no further release 
(11.x or whatever) will be such.

While I agree with you, there's been much discussion about this and I 
don't think repeating it over and over would be useful.
