Release stream openness indications in STATUS

Would anybody mind us adopting a habit of maintaining, in the STATUS files
of our release stream branches, our official position on the maintenance of
that branch? I thinking something like the following, to be placed at the
very top of the branch STATUS file:

1.0.x - 1.3.x:

   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   * *
   * This release stream is closed to further changes. *
   * *
   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1.4.x:

   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   * *
   * This release stream has been superceded by 1.X, but *
   * remains open to receive fixes for serious and *
   * security-related bugs. *
   * *
   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1.5.x:

   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
   * *
   * This release stream is open to bug fixes. *
   * *
   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It's just a tiny little way for folks to quickly know the status of a given
release stream without doing version arithmetic and being aware of our
2-streams-open policy or exceptions to it.

Thoughts?
