From: Glen Barber For late-breaking news about FreeBSD, please visit
-the Newsflash page. FreeBSD releases are classified into "Production Releases" and
+"Legacy Releases". The former are best suited to users looking for
+the latest new features; the latter are for users wishing to stay with
+a more conservative upgrade strategy. Releases are further classified by the length of time they will be
+supported by the Security Officer into "Normal" and "Extended"
+releases. Documentation files for each release are
+ available for viewing in HTML format on the
+ Release Documentation page. Complete information about the release date, the classifcation
+type, and the estimated End-Of-Life (EOL) for currently supported
+releases can be found on the Supported Releases
+section of the FreeBSD
+Security Information page. Release &rel.current; (&rel.current.date;)
