End-of-life for my amd64 ?

I installed FreeBSD-RELEASE6.2 last January, and wonder if there will be
a 6.3. Just discovered freebsd-update(8), tried it out, and saw:
WARNING: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE is approaching its End-of-Life date.
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to a newer
release within the next 4 months.
1. Now I wonder if I'll have to rebuild my filesystems again when 7.0
comes out. ...releases/amd64 contains only 6.1 and 6.2 among the
ISO images.
2. I've been a wannabe sysadmin for years and have enjoyed FreeBSD since
it was 386BSD. However, I am slow to catch up, and would appreciate
(and suggest) short links to various entities which are either recent
or important to an admin. A checklist, much less than a man page, and
more an introduction, e.g. "freebsd-update(8) does just that, and may
be useful once the current release has been in use for more than a few
months."
