PHP's support status page is one of the nicest examples of this I've
seen (someone mentioned it last time this question came up):
http://php.net/supported-versions.php

Like a lot of things though, "yes, that's a good idea" is easy, having
it actually get to the top of someone's todo list is a different
question :)

Cheers,
Nick.
