I'd go so far as to say the version #s of supported versions
is one of pieces of information I'd most expect to see on
the main support page ( http://www.postgresql.org/support/ ).
Perhaps it'd be nice to even show a table like
Version Released On Support Ends
7.1 4 BC Sep 3 1752
7.2 Feb 31 1900 Jan 0 2000
7.4 2003-11-17 At least 2005-x-x
8.0 2005-01-19 At least 2006-x-x
with a footnote saying that only the most recent dot release
of each family is considered supported.
It also might be nice to have a footnote saying that any
of the commercical support companies might support the older
versions for longer periods of time.
