I like that. We could add that information to a sidebar or footer on
every page.

I wasn't able to come up with a way to disable the link without
triggering a new build. I didn't want us to have to land a patch in each
repo as part of marking it EOL, but if we're going to do that to remove
the installation guide anyway then maybe we can disable the bug link at
the same time.
