Hi,

Though I admit RELENG_4 is getting dusty, it is not rusty.  I believe it
is still used in many places because of its stability and performance.

For instance, according to Julian Elischer's posts, it seems he is still
working on it.

Is it envisageable to extend the RELENG_4's and RELENG_4_11's EoL once
more ?

Thank you.
Regards,
