Looks like a good way to visualize active development and support life.

One thing I noticed is that the v2026.01 release is tagged as [latest], but not also [ESR] as v3.5 is. Having both would be a useful at-a-glance reference.

With the extra information between release and active development for versions, is there any setting (or plan to add one) to keep Discourse on a release or ESR version?
