+  <p>Effective &os;&nbsp;11.0-RELEASE, the support model has been
+    changed to allow more rapid development while also providing
+    timely security updates for all supported releases.</p>
+
+  <p>Under the new support model, each major version's stable branch
+    is explicitly supported for 5 years, while each individual point
+    release is only supported for three months after the next point
+    release.</p>
