When a release is completely EOL, would it be possible to have a notification that is persistant in some way? Not necessarily in the shell chrome (too much?), but maybe whenever you go to Software.

I'm not a huge fan of this. It reminds me greatly of the notifications that e.g. McAfee continuously pops up on Windows when your virus definitions are out of date. Not without good reason (and similar reasons), but really really annoying. Some people will want to stick with an EOL release for whatever reason and constantly slapping them with an Alert warning is pointless.
I definitely I don't think there should be a repeating popup. Nothing that slaps anyone, but something that gets lit up when you're looking at a relevant part of the UI.
