Correct.

For over TWENTY YEARS, FreeBSD advisories have already contained
the date when the problem was corrected, e.g.:
Topic: Several vulnerabilities in procfs [REVISED]
Category: core
Module: procfs
Announced: 2000-12-18
Reissued: 2000-12-29
Affects: FreeBSD 4.x and 3.x prior to the correction date.
Corrected: 2000-12-16 (FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE)
2000-12-18 (FreeBSD 3.5.1-STABLE)
I think it is safe to assume that this practice will continue after
the switch to Git.
