      Looks like Kris got a bit confused here. :-)

      The idea behind the extended support branches is that *selected*
    releases will be supported for at least 24 months; this allows us to
    offer extended support to people who can't upgrade on a regular basis,
    while keeping the number of supported branches to a manageable level.
      We haven't yet decided which future branches will qualify for
    extended support, but it is quite unlikely that this set would include
    FreeBSD 4.9.
