Hi,

The above document states that the support lifetime for FreeBSD 12 is 2023.

The expected EOL (but not decided) for 12 is June 30, 2020 however, according to
https://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup

So, hardware in some of my machines will only be supported until sometime next
year.
