--As of August 10, 2011 6:42:58 PM -0700, Michael Sierchio is alleged to
have said:
man freebsd-update
--As for the rest, it is mine.
That doesn't help with the question being asked. The question is 'Will
there be updates (as necessary) for this version of the OS in the future?'.
Freebsd-update only answers 'Are there updates for this version of the OS
in the present?'. Having present updates says nothing about there being
future updates. (Nor does the fact that there aren't any at the present
mean that there _won't_ be one tomorrow.)
(Well, ok, given the current release structure having an update today means
you are in a supported branch, and that supported branch will continue to
get updates for the foreseeable future. But that still does not tell me
when the branch is likely to get unsupported, and in theory a patch release
could be made on the last day of support for a branch.)
