Sure, but really a couple of lines to warn people and wave them towards
next steps is probably advisable next time.
Maybe we can alter the "uname -a" string to show the EOL so that every
time the machine boots you see it on top of the MOTD.
:)
Of course, that won't help for the turn-on-and-forget servers with
uptime measured in years...
As a serious questions, where should such a "you have X months/days
remaining before server is EOL, update before then" messages pop up?
weekly cron messages sent to root?
It could reasonably be added to /etc/periodic/security. Updating the
EOL date would have to be part of the release process. And the message
might point people to the list of EOL dates on freebsd.org for
additional information.
