Initially, I strongly disagreed with this recommendation, as I've seen
enough people say that they were unaware that a community version is
EOL. We can't say this enough.

However, I did decide to clip it out because the notice is just below.

That said, perhaps we should put out a separate announcement that states
PostgreSQL 11 is EOL. We may want to consider doing standalone EOL
announcement -- perhaps 6 months out, and then day of, to make it
abundantly clear that a version is deprecating.

Finally, I included Matthias' downthread recommendation in this version.

Thanks,

Jonathan
