"Unsupported releases" is far too strict a criterion for this. For
example, there are demonstrably still people using 7.2 (we had a
question about it just last week). They will still appreciate these
notes when they get around to updating.

Pre-7.1 might indeed be old enough to cut, but how much are we really
saving? Four sentences out of our current docs doesn't excite me ...
