I don't see any problem at all in archiving old releases and making the 
archive public. It doesn't make any promise of support at all. Have a 
look at ftp://ftp-archives.postgresql.org/pub/source - it has every 
release of postgres since the flood. And we certainly will not be 
supporting version 6.0 for example ;-)

Many businesses move slowly to upgrade. That might annoy some people, 
but it's often quite sensible from their perspective. Constantly pushing 
people to upgrade is somewhat akin to trying to teach a pig to sing ...
