ITYM 'more than a year away' there...

8.3 is due, in fact, over due now, but should be out fairly soon.  That
should be the extended support version you're looking for.

I believe that RE have stated that the lifetime of various branches due
to drop out of support soon will be extended due to the delay in getting
8.3-RELEASE out of the door, but that was only to cover any potential gap.

	Cheers,
