Hello Roland,

on this page there is no sentence written concerning the stop of the 
security branch RELENG_5_2! There is only written, (and I knew that 
already) that RELENG_5_2 is not supported officially!!! But many people 
are writing it is not supported anymore and many people are saying it is 
still developed!

Was there a mail announcing the stop of the development of RELENG_5_2 
security branch out there? I didn't received anything else!!!

With regards
Stevan
