Compatible ONTAP versions for SnapMirror relationships

Summary

The page currently documents back to ONTAP 9.5.
According to our ONTAP EOVS table: https://mysupport.netapp.com/site/info/version-support#ontap_svst
ONTAP 9.9.1 just passed its "End of Limited Support"
9.9.1 30-Jun-2024 30-Jun-2026 30-Jun-2029
9.8 31-Dec-2023 31-Dec-2025 31-Dec-2028

Allowing for a ~ 1 year buffer past EOVS, perhaps it's time to prune older versions than ONTAP 9.8 at this time?

Just a suggestion...

Thanks @andris-ntap. I believe we include documentation for older ONTAP releases until the end of self-service support, but I'll verify this.

Yep, @andris-ntap, it's a pain, but we're legally required to maintain availability of content for 3 years after the end of limited support period for ONTAP (that takes us through the end of self-service support). The next ONTAP release to blissfully fall out of that window is 9.5, at the end of January 2027.

That much said, we can move self-service support version details to a less prominent place, but we haven't prioritized that kind of activity. @netapp-lenida , that might be a good experiment?
