The Ubuntu page is a little confusing. The "security support" on that page appears to be "Extended Security Maintenance" which is available for kernel security updates, and only if you have a subscription to the Ubuntu Advantage.

Normal security support is over for Ubuntu 14.04.

Agreed, for most users there's effectively no ongoing support for 14.04, which makes the way it appears in this table highly misleading. Based on this I wouldn't recommend this list.

For this kind of situation I would suggest marking the item in red with a footnote indicating that some limited support is still available.
