Huh?  I'm totally not saying that you should be trying to match the  
support model of a large corporation, this statement is outright  
wrong.  I can still get security patches for Solaris 2.8 which shipped

Again, I'm not saying that 6 years is reasonable for FreeBSD - just  
pointing out that the statement is invalid.
