Hmm. Seems 7.4 was removed by Dave when we released 8.4:

Dave, do you recall why?

No, I don't think we should. We should list supported versions only.
And check_postgres could be advised to throw a warning at least if
you're running an unsupported version ;)

Perhaps because you only display five releases in the "Latest Releases"
part of the front page? which means 8.0 to 8.4.

Yes. iirc, that was the reason.

Is it possible to add all (7.3+) versions to versions.rss, but show only
top 5 versions?

7.3 is not supported. It would be 7.4+ and even that, we need to put
that under a different category... Something like:

Old versions you shouldn't use:

8.0
7.4

I know. But it would be a chance to remind people to upgrade their
installations.

We certainly don't want 7.3 in there - that's not supported at all.

An arbitrary listing won't do that.
