The error is a bit more confusing, even.  It should have read:

We always recommend that one upgrades to the latest unaffected release,
the latest stable branch, or latest supported security branch.
5.0-RELEASE is not a supported security branch any longer.

Sorry for the confusion.  I'll update the advisory on the ftp site.
