A "final" release to me means that it is "finalized". As in, it's a
frozen release after all tests/release candidates.

If we want a word for a version which no longer will be supported, I
suggest "unsupported" as that is fairly common in software and has
clear intent. [Although the word implies that other versions have some
kind of support, which is not really true.]
