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?

Why is this information not just displayed on "Unsupported Historical Releases" (/releases)? Do you have plans for the EOL page that wouldn't be suitable for the other one? My worry is spreading this information across multiple places, when we already have a very detailed page about unsupported versions. The X.Y version table could be listed at the top of /releases to give a quick summary, before the detail for each individual version listed chronologically. We could add more notes like the existing "Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued since 2007-12-31." at the appropriate places in that list. Just as each release announcement dated with detailed kept on a distinct page (linked in that list), all that's needed there is a date when support ended, with (any available) information on what was obsoleted in the process also on a distinct page - avoid cluttering up the release list.
