Description of Change

The changes in #50081 accidentally conflated two different concepts: the major that ended support when the latest release branch was created, and the major that will end support in the next iteration.

This separates them back out into different values.

I'm manually cleaning up the label color changes that happened to the wrong versions as a result of this issue.
