Sorry but I don't see where it says that. I see this: "Please note that these dates may be extended into the future, but only extenuating circumstances would lead to a branch's support being dropped earlier than the date listed." So unless some extenuating circumstances come along 6.3 should be good until 1/31/2010. It also says this: Extended: Selected releases will be supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release. 6.3 is labeled as an "extended" release and it was released 01/18/2008. If they don't stick to these dates they should not even bother publishing them because they would be meaningless.
