Whonix 16 will reach EOL before Qubes 4.1 reaches EOL, at which point
the table will be inaccurate. Since the Whonix support cycle does not
match the Qubes support cycle, and since whonix templates are not
official templates, it is better to remove from them from the table and
direct users to the Whonix website for official information about
support status.
At noted by Marek [1] GPG keyrings for verifying 4.1+ packages only
started being available in 4.1 templates. Telling people to fetch
the keyrings through another method would make instructions too
complicated. For this reason it seems simpler to just tell people to
use the new templates instead.

Tell users to upgrade the software sources. Otherwise they may miss
on critical integrations for 4.2 like VMExec (for the updater to work)
and most importantly, after 4.1 is EOL, it'll silently stop resolving
qubes package upgrades even though the template is not yet EOL.
This page is severely out-of-date and has remained so for an extended
period of time, with no one able or willing to update it. The outdated
content has proven misleading or unhelpful to many users. Since we have
nothing with which to replace the outdated content, removing it seems
like the lesser of two evils. (Note that the content is still available
via Git history and other archives for historical reasons and for any
users still on EOL releases.) If anyone is able and willing to
contribute the relevant knowledge and/or text for customizing the
installation of a supported Qubes release, we can bring this page back
in the future.
