Just had a conversation on irc with someone who tryed to use a D 4.7 theme (http://drupal.org/project/activesigns) with D6 which of cause didn't work. Maybe he didn't see the note or maybe it was not understandable/obvious to him?
I am no native English speaker but I think the help text should be changed to something that has the name Drupal in it. Something like "Made for Drupal [Version]".

What about the also-used "Supported for Drupal 5.x" status then?

The "Recommended" is actually a flag that the release in question is the one considered "best" by the maintainer for a certain Drupal core version. You can have multiple options at any one point.

Perhaps splitting the "Recommended / Supported / Unsupported" and "Which core version is this for" would be best?

Whoops, even though this is the older issue, #313090: Change all contrib module's "Recommended" labels to something else? has vastly more discussion, mockups, and proposed solutions than this one.
