The Documentation page states:

The manual pages for all supported releases are available.

Clicking through reads thus:

The manual pages for all releases are available online:

[master](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster)
[3.1](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.1)
[3.0](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man3.0)
[1.1.1](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1)
[1.0.2](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2)

The first statement is incorrect because we include more than just supported releases.
The second is incorrect because not all releases are included.

I'm not advocating the removal of any of the man pages, just tightening the wording in both cases. To what eludes me currently.

So, I guess it should be something like "for current development as well as all supported releases". That would fit what we put on display, no?

(3.2 in alpha state is still "current development")

1.1.1 and 1.0.2 are no longer supported releases (at least for the vast majority of people who'll stumble over this).

I'd like to argue that they are supported, just not for free. But hey, if you want to be wordy, how about "for current development as well as all supported (publicly or through premium support) releases".

"The manual pages for all supported and some older releases are available."

@mattcaswell, that's the wording I couldn't figure out.
