I wonder if we want to simplify those by now? Not sure why we wrote it this way compared to previous 3.x releases.

I think we may want to move deprecated versions to a separate table that is a bit more compact. With the upcoming pace of 3 minor releases of 4.x per year this table will grow exponentially.

Yeah it makes sense to have the upcoming and supported releases in one table, and the EOL ones in another.
