It has changed multiple times. I keep reviewing and finding 6.3 bugs
outstanding, and then observe the EoL get pushed.
I'm surprised that it failed to get pushed this time.
I'm sorry that the FreeBSD project failed to conform to your
expectations. However, I invite you to actually try 6.3 for yourself
instead of assuming that it will fail.

In an effort to potentially find a compromise between those who believe
FreeBSD is EoL'ing previous releases too quickly and those who don't.
Have those in a position to set FreeBSD release schedules debated the
option of setting a long term support release, a specific release picked
by the team to be support for,.. 4 or 5 years? Other projects have done
this will relative success and considering the "only" work required for
this release would be security patches the work load should be
minimized. Hopefully something like this could free up more time for the
FreeBSD developers to continue their work on the newer release(s) while
still answering the requests of what seems like quite a few of the
legacy FreeBSD users. Thoughts?
If this has already been discussed on-list I apologize for beating a
dead horse but I can't recall it bring brought up before.
Regards,
Chris
