Trim down the proposal quite a bit, making it much closer to the previous text, just more explicit about what we support.

The Nix release cycle is calendar-based as follows:
- A new minor version (`XX.YY+1.0`) is published every month and supported for two months;
- A new major version (`XX+1.1.0`) is published twice a year, in April and October, and supported for eight months.
Nix has a release cycle of roughly 6 weeks.
Notable changes and additions are announced in the release notes for each version.
The rationale behind that cycle is that
- Minor versions stay close to master and bring early access to new features for the user who need them;
- Major versions are aligned with the NixOS releases (released one month before NixOS and supported for as long at it).
The supported Nix versions are:
- The latest release
- The version used in the stable NixOS release, which is announced in the [NixOS release notes](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes.html#ch-release-notes).
Bugfixes and security issues are backported to every supported version.
Patch releases are published as needed.
Notable changes and additions are announced in the release notes for each version.
