That should be read as "End of Life" is meaningless. Not end of "Life
is Meaningless." Life is still meaningless, as is this post if you
disagree.
It mystifies me that there is this recent tendency for people to get
concerned about EOL. "What do I do?" My answer, "Do nothing." Just
because a FreeBSD version is EOL doesn't mean you have to stop using
it. It doesn't mean that your particular version is suddenly prone to
downtime. It doesn't mean you can't install patches even though the
secteam won't be updating CVS. It doesn't mean you can't continue to
develop applications for a major version.
EOL is a tool for FreeBSD to manage its own house. It is in no way a
directive on how you should manage your house. Queue someone still
running 2.1.5 with uptime stats. Come on. You know you want to show off.
To the people who have to manage limited resources and must therefore
implement an EOL policy. I commend you on the balancing act. Good on ya
mates. Your doing a fine job.
Regards,
Jason
