Looks like Kris got a bit confused here. :-) The idea behind the extended support branches is that *selected* releases will be supported for at least 24 months; this allows us to offer extended support to people who can't upgrade on a regular basis, while keeping the number of supported branches to a manageable level. We haven't yet decided which future branches will qualify for extended support, but it is quite unlikely that this set would include FreeBSD 4.9. Colin Percival
