We are currently supporting the same systems that secteam does, so, for
each branch, 6.4, 7.1, and 8.0, respectively.  The secteam matrix can be
found at http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html#supported-branches .

However, note that as individual ports are updated, they are becoming
less and less compatible with the base system in 6.4, and are thus
being marked 'broken'.  Since the 6.x branch is only a few months from
EOL, IMHO people should start moving away from it as soon as feasible.
