The problem is what to tell people to read if they want to transition
from an unsupported version to a supported version.

If we really wanted to save some space, we could cut all the release
notes for pre-7.4 (soon pre-8.0) releases. But somehow that doesn't
seem like a good idea. What it would mainly accomplish is to make it
hard to find the old information when you wanted it.
