Yeah, you did, but we need a concrete suggestion as to how to improve
the wording.

I wonder if just adding "in" would help:

This page in other versions: 9.2 / 9.1 / 9.0 / 8.4  |  In unsupported versions: 9.3 / 8.3 / 8.2 / 8.1 / 8.0 / 7.4 / 7.3
/7.2 / devel 

Another possibility is to replace "unsupported" with something more
explicit:

This page in other versions: 9.2 / 9.1 / 9.0 / 8.4  |  Unreleased or obsolete versions: 9.3 / 8.3 / 8.2 / 8.1 / 8.0 /
7.4/ 7.3 / 7.2 / devel 

            regards, tom lane
