Actually I think we should be pointing people to
http://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap.

Of course we would still need to add an EOL page... I think one could make a
strong argument for a static url for EOL info now that windows is EOL for <
8.2.

You could make a strong argument for a page stating that versions
thus-and-so are *already* EOL'd.  What the OP seems to be insisting
is that we produce a formal policy and timetable for future EOL
decisions, neither of which seem very likely or desirable to me.

We could record the dates we made versions EOL and they can interpolate
from there.
