Re: base OS, errata for security and other major problems are released for the latest release and one previous. Occasionally other fixes make it to the latest and maybe one previous but most developers are not running these (even in production many of us only run -current) so it is rather limited. Re: ports, important fixes are only done for the latest release (i.e. currently 4.9), when the next release is made the previous one is no longer supported.
