Why so short End-Of-Life? Why so many fast and short releases? What for? Why pushing problems to production? What was wrong with having one well tested stable system for a long time? 12.0 was a problematic release. 12.1 brings even more problems. To be honest X11 Video Acceleration DRM mess and dramatic Virtualization with VirtualBox brings back my MacBook to the desk because FreeBSD does not seem to be reliable desktop environment anymore even on a decent modern machine :-( Is it really necessary? What happened to FreeBSD? :-( Tomek On Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 12:14 AM FreeBSD Security Officer wrote:> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > Dear FreeBSD community, > > As of February 29, 2020, FreeBSD 12.0 will reach end-of-life and will no longer > be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team.
