[ shrug... ] Somebody jumped the gun. Doesn't matter much at
this point, perhaps. But the actual policy about this is what
it says at https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/:

The PostgreSQL project aims to fully support a major release for five
years. After its end-of-life (EOL) month ends, a major version
receives one final minor release. After that final minor release, bug
fixing ceases for that major version.

(That para was recently reworded to be more specific, but this is what the
de facto policy has been since we established the five-year target.)
