Where can one find the expected EoL for these releases? I've poked
around the website and can't find any notes mentioning this, although
several people have been making posts suggesting that people should
review the EoL schedule when planning their upgrades.

We're about to start the release cycle for FreeBSD-7.1 and
FreeBSD-6.4.
The proposed schedule for the "major events" of the cycle is:
Freeze August 29
BETA September 1
Branch September 6
6.4-RC1 September 8
7.1-RC1 September 15
6.4-RC2 September 22
7.1-RC2 September 29
6.4-REL October 6
7.1-REL October 13
I haven't posted the schedule on the Web site yet, I'll try to get
that
done over the weekend.
On Monday I'll switch RELENG_7 and RELENG_6 over to say they are
7.1-PRERELEASE and 6.4-PRERELEASE respectively as a heads-up that
there
will likely be higher-than-normal developer activity MFC-ing stuff
before code freeze starts. Odds get higher that if you do updates
using
RELENG_7/RELENG_6 branches during this period you *might* wind up
with a
tree that isn't quite right because you happened to catch it part way
through a developer doing a multi-step commit.
We had been procrastinating on saying definitively whether we thought
6.4-REL would be the last of the RELENG_6 releases to see how well
things went with 7.X (if 7.0-REL was a total disaster we'd have
considered doing a 6.5-REL). It seems that 7.0-REL went well and
RELENG_7 in general seems to be in good shape so we now expect 6.4-REL
to be the last of the RELENG_6 releases.
Thanks.
