Add a support phase column to the version table, marking v5 as ACTIVE and v4 as MAINTENANCE with its earliest EOL date, and document the CURRENT/ACTIVE/MAINTENANCE phases introduced with the Express 5.1 LTS strategy. Also note that packages under the expressjs, jshttp, and pillarjs orgs are supported at least as long as the release lines that depend on them.
✅ Deploy Preview for expressjscom-preview ready!

I think that probably makes sense to land this with the final date for 4.x
| | Major Version | Minimum Node.js Version | Support Start Date | Support Phase | Support End Date | | ||
| | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------- | | ||
| | [**v5.x**](/5x/api) | 18 | September 2024 | `ACTIVE` | **not yet determined** | | ||
| | [**v4.x**](/4x/api) | 0.10.0 | April 2014 | `MAINTENANCE` | **no sooner than October 2026** | |

Ending support for 4.x in 2026 might work fine... do we prefer April 2027? or another date?

I guess it's not too bad to fix this information a year later.
Please don't merge this without TC approval. 🙂
