>From the list digest: > 23. FreeBSD 4.x EoL (FreeBSD Security Officer) A few things immediately jumped out at me, and so I've elided everything around them so that they stand out; which I believe to be proper: > From: FreeBSD Security Officer <cperciva@freebsd.org> > Subject: FreeBSD 4.x EoL <snip> > Three and a half years ago, the Security Officer decided to increase > the length of time <snip> > A year later, support was once again extended. from the same paragraph: > in addition, some releases were designated as "extended support" > releases... <snip> All I *can* see is a minority (the project members) of people reaching well beyond what can be reasonably expected on behalf of, and for the benefit of, other people. Thinking of this project as a sort of organism, or perhaps some sort of meme, I find that I can only conclude that it has been more than generous. To say more would probably invite flames or invoke sentimentality, so I'll stick with "Thank you." -- Careful there, Honored One; or I'm gonna call some heavy-hitting Boddhisatvas to go Ahimsa on your immortal soul.
