Hi all,

While working on the web site lately I noticed that it had some
tooling to distinguish between "active" and "end-of-life" (EOL)
releases. The tooling wasn't effective until recently, and while
working on the Documentation [1] and Downloads/Releases [2] sections,
I started to make the distinction visible.

The visual intent is simple: highlight "active" releases (both
documentation and downloads) while limiting the display of old items
to prevent cluttering dropdown menus and sidebars with outdated
information that tend to accumulate over time.

But we'd need to establish an official policy for defining which
releases are supported and which have reached EOL.

Currently, my simple, informal approach considers the latest bugfix
versions across the three most recent minor releases as "active." This
currently includes versions 1.3.0, 1.2.0, and 1.1.0.

Other approaches are obviously possible. It also depends a lot on the
release cadence. I'd appreciate your input and thoughts on
establishing a formal policy for this.

Thanks,
Alex
