--- Comment #11 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

We do show the info in the (auto-)updater on Windows, and Linux repositories
prefer their own schedule. Plus, the About dialog is not an incentive per se
and probably not what users expect.

However, it might be good to inform users beyond this and show an infobar when
a new major is available. The text could be "This version is no longer
supported" along with buttons "Update", "Show again", Don't bother again".
