(no title)

Can someone add (2017) to the title? Without seeing the date it makes it look like GitHub is discontinuing support with a few days' notice.

By the way, I submitted this with the title "GitHub will discontinue TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 on February, 2018" but when I looked a few minutes later it was already changed to be the title of the original blog post. I'm sure this article was posted last year (clearly GitHub gave plenty of timing), but I saw this as a public service announcement on Twitter and thought, "Oh crap, lots of people are going to have weird issues tomorrow, I'd better go tell some people!"

If the mods do that, they should also add the date it will be disabled. If it just had 2017 in the title, it could mislead people to think support ended last year.

I feel like a less confusing title would be something like "Github to discontinue support for weak cryptographic standards Feb 2018 (2017)"

I saw this with the original 2018 in the title and immediately had a pretty bad "what the f* Github? Deprecation periods aren't a thing?" reaction..
