From the list digest:
23. FreeBSD 4.x EoL (FreeBSD Security Officer)
A few things immediately jumped out at me, and so I've elided
everything around them so that they stand out; which I believe to be
proper:
From: FreeBSD Security Officer <cperciva@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: FreeBSD 4.x EoL
<snip>
Three and a half years ago, the Security Officer decided to increase
the length of time
<snip>
A year later, support was once again extended.
from the same paragraph:
in addition, some releases were designated as "extended support"
releases...
<snip>
All I *can* see is a minority (the project members) of people reaching
well beyond what can be reasonably expected on behalf of, and for the
benefit of, other people.
Thinking of this project as a sort of organism, or perhaps some sort
of meme, I find that I can only conclude that it has been more than
generous.
To say more would probably invite flames or invoke sentimentality, so
I'll stick with "Thank you."

Boddhisatvas to go Ahimsa on your immortal soul.
