Rumors of 4.x's death are greatly exagerated. We plan to continue supporting 4.x well into the future with security fixes, stability fixes, and at least one additional release (which would imply additional features, wot?). The reality is that even if we did "end of life" 4.x, it would remain in use for years to come, and we're hardly going to ignore that :-). If you look at the FreeBSD Release Engineering web page, you'll see that 4.11 is on the impending release list, but doesn't yet have a schedule assigned. Right now we're largely focussing on getting 5.3 ready to go out the door.
