EOL is a commonly-used term in the software industry. For FreeBSD, it
is the point past which a given release will no longer be supported by
security advisories/patches, as well as freebsd-update.

This page gives the official EOL dates for the various FreeBSD releases,
as well as more information surrounding this term. As I write this, the
estimated EOL for 6.2-RELEASE is 31 May 2008.

There were postings to stable@ and security@ about this message...if I
remember right the basic gist was that freebsd-update(8) makes some
assumptions about when the EOL date that turned out not to be true due
to delays in 6.3-RELEASE, and that this message can be safely ignored.
