Why is Atlassian ending support for these platforms?
Atlassian is committed to delivering improvements and bug fixes as fast as possible. We are also committed to providing world class support for all the platforms our customers run our software on. However, as new versions of databases, web browsers, etc, are released, the cost of supporting multiple platforms grows exponentially, making it harder to provide the level of support our customers have come to expect from us. Therefore, we no longer support platform versions marked as end-of-life by the vendor, or very old versions that are no longer widely used.

Announced October 2015
Atlassian will end support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 in JIRA 7.2. End of support means that Atlassian will not fix bugs related to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 past the support end date.
