Ed noted that this file has grown very large, so this change trims it to only show entries for supported branches. In particular, if the goal (as I understand it) is to help porters know which versions to use when maintaining ports, then there isn't really a need to document values from unsupported branches.

Ping, what do we think about trimming this file down to only supported branches?

I had this in D48244 as well. @mat didn't like it and @cperciva pointed out that it can be a useful quick reference for finding out when something was implemented or changed.
