In the next month or two I've got to upgrade a number of servers that
are currently on an EOL'd version of 4-STABLE. I foresee that I'll
have very limited time to do full OS upgrades on these systems in the
coming several years, so I want to make sure I bring them onto an
extended-life branch.
Right now 4.11 has the furthest projected EOL date (Jan 31 2007), and
the projected EOL for 5.3 is several months sooner (Oct 31 2006)
according to <http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html>
If 5.4 is expected to be an extended-life branch, I would consider
moving them up to 5.4 instead, to get a leap on current technology.
Has that decision been made yet?
