I agree with this 100%, my only issue is with the method and timing of
"making it clear". Until now, there has been zero indication from
the release notes, the website, or the community that 7.4 will be
soon unsupported. If we are going to announce that, we should be making
the announcement fair (e.g. not December 2008) and loud (e.g. -announce,
- -general, main page of postgresql.org, press release).
