Actually no - because of pip install, we need to keep support up until
we can tell folk we don't support them anymore, which is after the
last point release, not at it. If we drop support earlier, we can't
release the support dropping versions until the support period ends,
and that means we'd have an unreleasable trunk, which is bad.
