Quite seriously, if you're still using 7.2.4 for production purposes you could justifiably be accused of negligence....Perhaps we should put a link on the home page underneath LATEST RELEASEs saying 7.2: de-supported with a link to a scary note along the lines of the above.I strongly support an explicit desupported notice for 7.2 and below on the website...
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. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
