With that argument only the latest version would be supported.
That said, it is a release candidate and as such one could argue that
there never had been any official support at all.
In that case however the message is wrong, because when a support has
ended it implies that there was support.
The check in the code is this one:
.if (${OPSYS} == FreeBSD && (${OSVERSION} < 1003000 || (${OSVERSION} >= 1100000 && ${OSVERSION} < 1100122))) || \
(${OPSYS} == DragonFly && ${DFLYVERSION} < 400400)
It is not about RC as such, it is explicitly about 11.0-RC.
My OSVERSION is 1100121.
So obviously support starts with the first release.
Fair enough, but then the message is still wrong unless it was supported.
