Summary

The Versions section has bitrotted.

Some versions were missing, and some Templates were missing or incorrect.

I have no way to test this, sorry, someone will need to double-check my work.

I'm not fully convinced we need the template? I just copy/paste from an existing entry when I need to add a new one. Especially given that some of the templates are out of date anyway, I'd probably prefer just removing them.

Arguably this should already be 14.3-STABLE? But again, I'm not sure it's useful to update this after every minor release.

It's not clear this is useful as we will not have any more bumps on 12.x.

Similarly here and elsewhere in the diff.
