Indeed.  And lest someone fall back on the, "That version is no longer
supported," excuse for the unavailability of patches, I would remind them
that Microsoft no longer officially supports Windows 95, but you can still
get all the patches up to the EOL point.

IOW, that excuse doesn't hold water.  You can do a lot of things to boost
sales of newer versions.  Yanking the latest updates to the major version
someone is licensed for (after an arbitrary date) and basically forcing
them to upgrade to get a working product is not one of the smartest
methods, IMHO.  Nobody's explicitly said it (that I can remember), but that
appears to be the case from what I've gathered from several wishing to get
4.8.12 if they had 4.8.(N<12).  And I'm betting that EOL notice was never
given to them in advance, to boot.  I don't remember any advance warning
from -any- channel, official or community, ever hitting this list.  It was
noted after the fact that only 5.0.x was supported anymore and 4.8 could no
longer be had.
