  Looks like Kris got a bit confused here. :-)

  The idea behind the extended support branches is that *selected*
releases will be supported for at least 24 months; this allows us to
offer extended support to people who can't upgrade on a regular basis,
while keeping the number of supported branches to a manageable level.
  We haven't yet decided which future branches will qualify for
extended support, but it is quite unlikely that this set would include
FreeBSD 4.9.
