I've looked for a nice centralized place for this information, and the closest thing I've found is that EOL versions get noted as such in https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-announce/ during their final release; see https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-announce/2024/000183.html for a good recent example:

This is also the last release from the GCC 11 branch, GCC continues to be maintained on the GCC 12, GCC 13 and GCC 14 branches and the development trunk.

That should be good enough for us.

:grinning: In the hopes that it helps with backfill efforts, a few final releases in their relevant series (with references):

4.3 4.3.6 Tue Jun 28 13:09:00 GMT 2011 https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-announce/2011/000119.html

The announcement for 4.2.4 is at https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-announce/2008/000101.html, but it does not contain any of the telltale "last release" verbiage from all the previous links, so even though it was the last release of the 4.2 series, it doesn't seem appropriate to go much further back IMO (maybe y'all feel differently :bow:).

Yes please!

Note that versioning used to be different prior to 5 and thus, stuff prior to 5 did things differently.

More details available at https://gcc.gnu.org/develop.html#timeline cruitially .5 is typically the last point release; at which point (N+2).2 should be out altready.
