I was in the mood that AngularJS will live for some more time after the introduction of Angular. That came when the team announced that they will monitor the downloads of AngularJS and define the retirement strategy later.
But now things have changed. Angular team announced a road map to the end of AngularJS with 1.7 version. When they say end, its the end of new releases and official support meaning there won't be any security patches to the AngularJS framework after the currently set LTS period.
What is AngularJS sunset means to us
The period stared from Jun 30, 2018 and it is till June 30, 2021. It doesn't mean they will release patch for each and every thing. The exact criteria is outlined in the announcement.

We can use AngularJS ever after that period but if there are new security holes identified, hackers can exploit that to do whatever they can. So it is better to migrate to Angular from now itself. We have 3 years to get the migration done.
Bye bye AngularJS
