 open source OS, but basically I'm just asking at what point in time would
 there no longer be security updates and bug fixes made to the
 OS?

Of course, possibly subject to change or update. Usually any new additions 
of changes are reported in various @announce mailing lists. The security 
announce list will report on specifically the secure patch support question.
