Everyone: I've just noted that as of this month, there is no release of FreeBSD -- on any branch -- whose EOL is less than a year away. Should there not be at least one release with extended support? --Brett Glass

That should be the extended support version you're looking for. I believe that RE have stated that the lifetime of various branches due to drop out of support soon will be extended due to the delay in getting 8.3-RELEASE out of the door, but that was only to cover any potential gap.
