Linux support to end after v1.7

At the very least 1.7 will get bugfix releases up until v1.8 is released, so we may still be able to pull some fixes into 1.7 for Linux only even after v1.8 is released. This entirely depends on what the bug is and what the fix for it is so I cannot make any specific guarantees.
