AFAIK, when a new version of FreeBSD released (or new tag like RELENG_4_X_RELEASE committed into the CVS-tree) preprevious branch make unsupported. If you subscribed to freebsd-announce maillist - you notified that new version (FreeBSD 4.7) released. Its automagicaly means that RELENG_4_5 is unsuppoted. > On Wed, 26 Feb 2003, Sergey A.
