Or even this afternoon. :) I've added http://php.net/eol (coming soon to a mirror near you; it's not up yet): at present, it's pretty bare bones, just listing the date of the last release on each unsupported branch, and with an optional notes field. It's not linked from anywhere yet — I have a patch that will add it to the sidebar on /releases, as Rasmus suggested, but let's get the EOL page itself worked out first. Thoughts? (Do we even want to auto-fill this from $OLDRELEASES, or would we rather have a manual array?) Specific notes on vulnerabilities to add to branches? Better versions of the copy in the initial blurb?
