Do you mean all versions from the last major release cycle ? In which case it means 5.0+, 5.1+, 5.5+ - or just the last version ? (5.5+). The way you've written it, it sound like we support just one version, but I don't think that's what we want. Otherwise, +1 for the general strategy, it's good to put this on paper.
