8.2 EoL Schedule?

[Steven Hartland]

Currently http://www.freebsd.org/security/ states 8.2
is "Estimated EoL" July 31, 2012.

Given 9.0 has only just been released can we assume this
is just out of date and 8.2 will be supported for longer
than this?

Along those lines are there any more plans for additional
point releases to 8 or should we look to migrate to 9?

    Regards
    Steve

Hi,

8.3 is on the way IMHO, but anyway RELENG_8 will be supported until
2013 febr 24, by the current status.

Regards,
Andras

But if RELENG_8_{1,2}, aren't updated then that would follow EOL, right?
Meaning, they won't be updated past July 31, 2012, unless there is an
extension.

Any clarity would be great on this.

The current expected EOL dates are available at
        http://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup

8.1 and 8.2 will drop out of security support July 31 this year, given
8.3 has been available for at least 3 months then.  Also 8.3 is an
extended release supported until 2014.
