Hello,

from a freshly installed FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE I did a freebsd-update to bring
it to the latest patch level.

After:

	# freebsd-update fetch

I got this message:

	WARNING: FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE is approaching its End-of-Life date.
	It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to a newer
	release within the next 2 months.

What does this exactly mean? Is the whole 9.0 Series approaching EOL, or
does this only apply to the initial 9.0-RELEASE _AND NOT_ to e.g. 
9.0-RELEASE-p3 ?

Where can I find more information on the planned lifecycles of the current
and upcoming releases? Are there any?

Thanks & kind regards

Matthias
