+1 to changing it such that it matches reality.

If this reality happens to be one where 1.4.x doesn't get even security
fixes anymore, then +1 to the specific patch, too. :-)

Actually, we didn't even officially fix in 1.4.x the heap overflow bug
which was fixed in 1.6.4 and 1.5.7. I'd consider that a severe issue.
Maybe we should change the wording again to make it match reality?

Might be nice to have some text </h1>between these two tags<table> ?

e.g., "Project policy is to support the last N release streams.
Currently, the following minor streams are supported:" or something
similar that uses less confusing terms :-)

            ^^^^

Unmatched closing tag.
