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.

FreeBSD Support Cycle

I'm possibly considering building a FreeBSD based NAS to provide NFS storage 
for vSphere in a production environment.  I would use FreeBSD-8, amd64 variety. 
 What is the expected EOS & EOL dates (end of support/end of life) for FreeBSD 
8?  I'm not sure if the EOL question matters for an 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?___
