If 2006 is accurate, this is registering on me as a significant POLA

security@, and the website where this has been announced for a LONG
TIME. The policy and rationale is all there.
OK, thanks. Searched back in my security@ archives and found it,
plain as day. The discussion of 5.4's fate did happen long ago.
I actually read it carefully at the time but didn't think much of
it, believing we'd surely have our servers on 6.x by now. So I
totally take back the POLA statement -- I knew this was coming and
it was my mistake to forget and let mgmt. defer the upgrade plan.
We'll do an interim hop from RELENG_5_4 to RELENG_5, and escalate
our path to 6.x adoption. Actually, it'll be nice to wave the EOL
stick to force some action on that. Running EOL server parts is
against policy. =)
