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. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter LAMP :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL
