[postgis-devel] [postgis-users] EOL page

[Regina Obe]

Since I heard no complaints, I created a section on PostGIS front page "PostGIS version compatibility and EOL policy" with link to our compatibility matrix page.

If anyone has any suggested changes, feel free to mention them and they'll probably be added.

Thanks,
Regina

Some more visibility around initial release dates for various versions would help improve communications around EOL. I can kind of do the math and say that it's probably 3-4 years old, but it would be nice to have than solid in the matrix, that the 2.2.0 release was on date X.
