The table under <https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup>; does not yet show
stable/14. So (given what's quoted) the table seems to be outdated, however=
 the
table is, at this time, correct.

For things within the page to be consistent with each other, now and in the
future:=20

* expand what's currently line 110.=20

The phrase "first release" seems suitable:

> Under the current support model, each major version=E2=80=99s stable bran=
ch is=20
> explicitly supported for 5 years from the first release, while each indiv=
idual=20
> point release is only supported for three months after the next point rel=
ease.

re@ would you like me to prepare a patch file?
