Hi Antonin

Thank you for the update! I was thinking about it too :)

In addition to agreeing with Quentin, I also note that in the previous 
versions of the diagram, the future releases were in lighter gray, as a 
way to distinguish them from past ones. That's not strictly necessary as 
we can see their dates too, though.

You could either change this or decide to color all EOL releases and 
future ones in light gray, which could also make sense.
Thanks
Michael.
