The aim here is not to present the _appearance_ of a distro with
security updates but give the choice to the user either to upgrade or to
stick with a distro where some packages will not be maintained.
Something along "That distro is EOL. Upgrade before you get hacked.
Alternatively, and at your own risk, you can enable a repository where 
some packages are updated on a volunteer basis, but some packages aren't
maintained anymore."

With a page listing which packages are still supported.
