Old versions going to unsupported? "superseded"

Can help but notice the last 2 client versions are "superseded" and go straight to unsupported in the console. Thats fine and dandy, but with 20k clients its kinda hard to keep up, and now, according to the console we will not have support if we encounter issues. Also being in the constant state of forced upgrades is not a good look. Is there some reason that Cisco is going in this direction instead of fully supporting previous versions?

Thanks!

Additionally, just a little bit of a 'soap box here' but conversations in the past with TAC when we have had failed upgrades are we have to uninstall and reinstall the client because upgrades dont work sometimes. Not to mention passwords, you really supposed to send an uninstall command to the clients in clear text? How secure is that? Only other option is to move all the machines to an unpassworded policy so that you can do the upgrade and not worry about the password, but that creates a bunch of manual labor to sort each day what machines have what version and move them back to protected after they upgrade. Not to mention the failures on uninstall/reinstall. Then your endpoint is really unsecure as its stuck without a client for whatever the failed to install reason is!
