There's nothing stopping you from from running -stable in production. Obviously, you will need to do more extensive testing than you might need to for a -release. As for EoL, all software goes EoL and support for that software stops. FreeBSD releases are typically supported for 4 years - IMO, that's excellent value for money.

That was >supposed to be my point, as Mark has also explained. You are the only person that is claiming that 8.x is EOL. I have not seen any official announcement to that effect. The absence of an announcement of 8.4-release does not make it EOL. --=20 Peter Jeremy --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk/a9KcACgkQ/opHv/APuIeOyQCgxOUlCmpN4sBFyEiP+dcW9w9n /bYAnRrDy1mqs8r4yxPVrPgIF1pj4Iyi =AWDR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --LpQ9ahxlCli8rRTG--
