there will however be a RELENG_4 branch still active for those of us who
need to
continue generating 4.x based releases for ourselves..
I'm assuming security patches goin gto 4.11 will also go there.
While a 4.12 will PROBABLY not happen, I do plan on continued MFCs of
important
changes to RELENG_4 as I do not envision my custommers moving to 5.x
until some

possibly some new drivers
and thing like USB fixes.
