We have a lot of custommers on 4.4 and 4.1.1 We will be moving those on 4.1.1 to 4.4 so that they are all at the same level, but we cannot move them up to 4.5 or 4.8 or whatever for at least another 18 months as they don't upgrade production systems more than once on 2 years in general. Just to let you know who will be running on 4.4 and relying on that branch and why I'd like you to make an effort to keep it alive (I notice releng_4_3 has been dropped) I can just say that 4 of the largest banks in the USA are on it and relying on it.. and will be doing so for another year at least. Thanks for a great job well done! Julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
