   <h2>The FreeBSD support model</h2>

     is explicitly supported for 5 years, while each individual point
     release is only supported for three months after the next point

-  <p>Previously, branches were designated as either <em>Normal</em> or
-    <em>Extended</em>.  The designation was used as a guideline for
-    determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:</p>
-
-  <dl>
-    <dt>Normal</dt>
-    <dd>Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch were
-      supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months
-      after the release, and for sufficient additional time (if
-      needed) to ensure that there is a newer release for at least
-      3 months before the older Normal release expires.
-    </dd>
-    <dt>Extended</dt>
-    <dd>Selected releases (normally every second release plus the last
-      release from each -STABLE branch) were supported by the Security
-      Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release, and for
-      sufficient additional time (if needed) to ensure that there is
-      a newer Extended release for at least 3 months before the older
-      Extended release expires.
