Maybe we can alter the "uname -a" string to show the EOL so that every
time the machine boots you see it on top of the MOTD.

Of course, that won't help for the turn-on-and-forget servers with

As a serious questions, where should such a "you have X months/days
remaining before server is EOL, update before then" messages pop up?
weekly cron messages sent to root?
