I find that hard to believe unless there is a caching issue with
the EoL date, the return clearly uses "1" which means fail in
the fetch phase.

Ah, but then again this is more likely a side effect of using:

# freebsd-update fetch install

In any case, fetch should now fail if it fetched updates...


Cheers,
