If the security webpage at FreeBSD is any indication, then if (for example) 7.0 is
released before 6.3, then 6.3 will be supported that much longer than 7.0. And so
although the branch may be getting cut off, in the overall big picture, 6.3 may be
fine. For example, around the time 6.3 (or 6-stable) stops being supported, 7.0 may
be long deprecated in favor of perhaps 7.4 or 7-stable or 8.1 or whatever.
The 4.x branch was ultra supported beyond its time, IIRC.
