As I commented on the MR, I think it would be a good move to merge "ended"
and "limited" files together. This will require more code changes but
gives a clearer overview of the restrictions affecting a given release.

We could have a single file per release with 3 fields:

* package (or package regexp)
* supported (true/false), trues implies limited support, false means not 
supported
* comment (should explain the limitation if supported == true)

We could keep an unversioned file (for unstable?) that would serve as
template when we have to create a new release.

Cheers,
