<p>Previously, branches were designated as either <em>Normal</em> or
<em>Extended</em>. The designation was used as a guideline for
determining the lifetime of the branch as follows:</p>
<dl>
<dt>Normal</dt>
<dd>Releases which are published from a -STABLE branch were
supported by the Security Officer for a minimum of 12 months
after the release, and for sufficient additional time (if
needed) to ensure that there is a newer release for at least
3 months before the older Normal release expires.
</dd>
<dt>Extended</dt>
<dd>Selected releases (normally every second release plus the last
release from each -STABLE branch) were supported by the Security
Officer for a minimum of 24 months after the release, and for
sufficient additional time (if needed) to ensure that there is
a newer Extended release for at least 3 months before the older
Extended release expires.
