Subject: End of life for the NetBSD 1.6 branch
Date: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 - 12:58 pm

In keeping with NetBSD's policy of maintaining only the current (3.x) and

most recent (2.x) release branches, the release of NetBSD 3.0 marks the=20

end-of-life for NetBSD 1.6. This means that the netbsd-1-6 branch will no=

=20

longer be actively maintained.


For example:


- In contrast to earlier plans there will be no NetBSD 1.6.3 release.

  This plan was dropped due to incomplete cross build support in the

  "netbsd-1-6" branch and lack of man power.

- There will be no more pullups to the branch (even for security issues)

- There will be no security advisories made for 1.6

- The current 1.6 releases on ftp.netbsd.org will be moved into   =20
