Some time ago I managed to track down the overview concerning the EOS for Cognos 8.4.1 I remember a list of platforms , tools, RDBMS versions that were indicated NOT be supported in a future release.
Great! No matter how I search the IBM site, I cannot find it anymore. Very frustrating. Anyone got a good clue, keyword or link?
Bingo, just as hope seemed lost:

I reckon Cognos keeps supporting SQL2000 till Microsoft drops extended support in 2013 (barf..)
