fair enough, but remember some people don't know what are FreeBSD branches
nor the internal notation or the calling convention. They want to know what can 
they download to use on their production environments. As well, probable makes
sense to have somewhere defined why there are 3 stable, production releases
and the life support scheme for each.

Sort of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28operating_system%29
(Solaris Release Timeline)

Sounds good. I think legacy should be dropped in favour of something simpler and easy
to digest from sys admins to data center managers.
