Bug Description
When users access old-releases.
In one case a junior sysadmin was told to install "8.04" so he searched for 8.04 until he found it on old-releases.
There was a prominent notice about the SSH key vulnerability, but I think all pages on old-releases.u.c should clearly state that they are obsolete releases which shouldn't be used in production envirionment. The text should encourage users to download their image/s from releases.
This small change could make things a lot clearer for inexperienced (potential) users.
summary: |
- old-releases.ubuntu.com doesn't tell uses images are out of date + old-releases.ubuntu.com doesn't tell users that images are EOL |

My opinion is that old/obsolete mirrors should be brought down. They're confusing people and not helping in anyhow.
