You might want to check out BSDNow, episode 51 ( http://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_08_20-engineering_nginx ). In that episode, they interviewed Eric Le Blan from Xinuos (the company that acquired the assets of SCO Unix). He expressed interest in his company providing long term support for FreeBSD on older branches. It's not in place now though, but would be nice to see this come. -- Craig
