Hello Andreas,

I have read this page already and I understood the text.

Fact was also that the 5.2.1-security-branch should supported till Oct 
2005 and only important reasons can stop developing security branch 
fixes! But why they stop developing the security branch without 
notifying the people.

I mean it is not enough to write a small sentence on a web-site! It 
should be announced in freebsd-annouce at freebsd.org. But I can not find 
anything in the archives! The next time they should annouce the 
interrupt of supporting a security branch!!!

With regards
Stevan
