Everything older than Mitaka is already EOL, Mitaka happens soon.  The
releases page[0] shows 10 Apr 2017 (today!?) as the EOL date for
Mitaka, but I don't think that has officially occurred yet.

What this mostly means is what we maintain update releases for and
what is tested in our CI.  We know there are still a lot of Kilo and
Liberty (even older too) clouds running that still need support, and
maintaining matching client libs for each release is not something we
want to require.  The novaclient 8.0 removal is the first instance I
can think of in recent memory[1] where we have actually removed code
like this, so in general staying on current libraries should be a good
strategy.

[1] I know as soon as I say that I'll get reminded about something. :)
