- Markup a list with <ul> instead of using <br>.
- Use secteam@ instead of security@ as contact address for the FreeBSD
Security Team in the hope of minimizing confusion a bit with which
address goes where.
- Add a link to the contributors article where people can see the current
Security Team member list.
- Tell people the preferred contact is the FreeBSD Security Team.
Note part of this page is still somewhat inconsistent with itself in
some parts, but at least this is a step in the right direction.

Jacques is stepping down from the Security Officer role after 43 months
of dedicated service, but he will still be around to make sure I don't
mess things up too badly... :-)
security support, i.e., 12 months.
While I'm here, extend the EoL date for RELENG_5 to now + 24 months,
since the actual date is going to be 24 months after the last 5.x
release.
We now have a Security Officer (nectar), two Deputy Security Officers
(des, cperciva), and one Core Team / Release Engineering / TrustedBSD
Project liaison (rwatson).
1. The security-officer alias goes to three people, not four; there is
one member of the core team on the alias, not two.
2. Our set of close working relationships includes DragonFlyBSD as well
as the older BSDs.
3. We usually commit security fixes to HEAD and the security branches
(nearly) simultaneously; there is no longer a significant lag between
disclosure-via-CVS and the advisory being sent out.

Update RELENG_4 EoL to January 31, 2007 -- two years after the
(anticipated) 4.11-RELEASE.
Remove RELENG_5_2 as it has exceeded its lifetime in most of the world.
Time to update those 5.2.1-RELEASE systems to 5.3-RELEASE!
branches. `Early adopter' branches will be supported 6+ months,
`Normal' branches will be supported 12+ months, and `Extended'
branches will be supported 24+ months.
Mark RELENG_4_8 as an `Extended' support branch and extend its
Estimated EoL accordingly.
While here, also extend RELENG_5_2 through the end of 2004.
(I was reminded that RELENG_4_8 had expired a few days ago by
cperciva@.)
FreeBSD 5.2 added.
EoL date for 5.1 adjusted to actual last day of the month for
consistency. (Leap year reminder from Marek Lukaszuk
<m.lukaszuk@multimedia.pl>.)
New branch RELENG_4_9: EoL one year from release.
RELENG_4: EoL at same time as RELENG_4_9.
RELENG_4_7: EoL has already passed, but give it until the end of 2003
as a bonus.
