Release stream openness indications in STATUS
Would anybody mind us adopting a habit of maintaining, in the STATUS files
of our release stream branches, our official position on the maintenance of
that branch? I thinking something like the following, to be placed at the
very top of the branch STATUS file:
1.0.x - 1.3.x:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* *
* This release stream is closed to further changes. *
* *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1.4.x:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* *
* This release stream has been superceded by 1.X, but *
* remains open to receive fixes for serious and *
* security-related bugs. *
* *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1.5.x:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* *
* This release stream is open to bug fixes. *
* *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It's just a tiny little way for folks to quickly know the status of a given
release stream without doing version arithmetic and being aware of our
2-streams-open policy or exceptions to it.
Thoughts?

Reasonable, but shouldn't we (as well or instead) be closing dead
branches by deleting them from the /branches directory? It looks like
there are several dead ones, not just 1.x.x but 'ebcdic' for example.

Perhaps also mention the expected change to the status:
This release stream is open to bug fixes. When 1.Y.0 is released,
this stream will be closed to any changes except security-related
bugs.
This release stream is open for serious and security-related bugs
only. This stream will be closed to any changes on January 1.
