Fact was also that the 5.2.1-security-branch should supported till Oct 2005 and only important reasons can stop developing security branch fixes! But why they stop developing the security branch without notifying the people. I mean it is not enough to write a small sentence on a web-site! It should be announced in freebsd-annouce@freebsd.org. But I can not find anything in the archives! The next time they should annouce the interrupt of supporting a security branch!!! With regards Stevan
