-        We typically only release new versions and don't usually patch old 
releases.
-        We may consider patching old releases in exceptional circumstances.
-        It is recommended to always use the latest version of Apache POI.
+        There is no longer any support for POI releases 4.x and earlier. Users
+        are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of POI.
