FreeBSD 6 has been EOL since November 30, 2010. We have been encouraging
users to move to a newer branch since long before that. It's awesome
that often things work past the EOL date, but we definitely do not
encourage users to rely on that.

We all understand how difficult it is to migrate, but sometimes it's
necessary.


Good luck,

Doug
