--- Comment #20 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> ---
Discussed at the EuroBSDCon devsummit without any significant negative
feedback: We're going to call releases "legacy" when we think users should
generally not be using them for new installations.  There will always be
exceptional circumstances but this messaging is important particularly for
newcomers to FreeBSD.

Generally speaking, as soon as X.(Y+1) is released X.Y is "legacy", and once
(X+1).1 is released X.* is "legacy", but re@ may diverge from this on occas=
ion
(i.e. that's not part of the definition, just what I expect will usually be=
 the
case).  Right now 14.1 is "production" and 14.0, 13.3, and 13.4 are all
"legacy".

Please alert me to any places on the website which do not correspond to thi=
s.
