you are correct, the page is out of date! openSUSE 12.1 should be
listed under the heading of “Discontinued distributions” rather than
under “Supported distributions”
12.1 went end-of-life on the date specified…

Wrong. 12.1 is still officially supported, till the official
discontinuation email is sent by Marcus Meissner on the
opensuse-announce mail list.
I asked about this in the project list, it is still under a bit of
support. It will be soon over, but not yet - officially, that is.

The date there is just an estimate 
The actual date changes. Sometimes they stop support months before the
date, rejecting any bugzillas on it as “wontfix” directly. I complained
about that I don’t remember with which version, it was not long ago, 1
or 2 years.
