Now it is near the = end of December, and FreeBSD 6.2 RC2 has yet to be seen anywhere. = Chances are that FreeBSD 6.2 Release will come out earliest mid-January. = This does not give much time for people to migrate to the newest = FreeBSD release. I think it would be fair if support is extended for a = few more months especially since 6.2 is so late in coming.
