I'll remake the images based on the available wiki FAQs dates. Wait for it.

Karan, I take your mail to home ... I'll try to display these ideas.
Due the release timeline ... could we predict which will be the last
release/update number of each major version ? Maybe a timeline could
reflect in a more simple and clear way where people are ... something
like:
Full Updates: --------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|
5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5
Maintainance Updates:
--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4
5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 5.9
where 5.5 is the last Full Update, and 5.9 the last Maintainance Update.
Thanks,
al.
