right now, all i want to know is:
q: will 6.4 be the_last_of_the_sixes ?
or
q: now that it is nearly six months after_the_fact,
is there, still, a non_zero probability that
we will celebrate a "blessed event" named 6.5 ?

Basically, from a security point of view, running EOLed versions of
FreeBSD is not a very good idea. Given the fact that the EOL
deadlines are announced long in advance, and the fact that updating
FreeBSD is quite easy (either via source or via binary update), there
are very few valid excuses for staying with an EOLed version.
That's the theory. The problem is that there may not be anything to
upgrade to, because release dates tend to slip. For instance, the
original EoL date for 6.2 was 2008-01-31, but 6.3 wasn't released until
2008-01-18. This was addressed at the last minute by extending 6.2's
lifetime by four months.
