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.
