It is important to warn people who are still using older releases of FreeBSD of
security problems in them, even if they are not officially "supported." There
are many people out there who use and depend on them. It is mean-spirited of you,
IMHO, to lobby to cut those people off.

Not always. However, I like to think that when it does happen it is usually
because the issues I mention are important.

Of course, some people also seem to enjoy flaming me, as you are doing here.

See above.

What a friendly, constructive, and helpful sentiment. Not.
