Ok, I jumped the gun a bit, and should have double checked my facts.
However, for all practical purposes, the EOL Phase 1 dates are the ones
to go by as no patches are rreleased after that. 7 was EOL Phase 1 in
2005, and 8 reaches that in March 09.

I suspect this will be pretty soon now, however, and EOL phase 1 is 2
years later.
