Re: [DOCS] should we have a separate page that clearly defines what a minor release is and why it's a good idea to keep up with them?

Yeah, I figured that was the criteria. So, is it not reasonable to say
that the releases listed on the front page under "Latest Releases" are
actually "Current minor release for branches which have not reached
EoL"? Perhaps instead of "Latest Releases" or "Actively Maintained
Releases" something like "Current Releases" says that better?
