when 4.8 comes out (a year after 4.6 came out) support for 4.6 will stop.
Quite short time.
Perhaps, but it /is/ free. There are undoubtedly some people who will
backport fixes to earlier versions if you paid them.
Our advise is to upgrade to a newer version and plan for that now.
It's not magic, in fact it is pretty easy in almost all cases.
It is not magic, but it is more than magic if you have only remote ssh
access and nothing else. :-(
You have multiple options, there's :
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade46.html
Which perhaps looks a little scary, but does work.
Alternatively try YAIFO http://sourceforge.net/projects/yaifo/ for an ssh
enabled install kernel. Of course, you should test both these options on
a local machine before attempting it remotely..
