But 4.8 is the current "stable" release; it's going to be around for a long time. And supported. It's possible there'll be a stable 4.9, but it's unlikely, since most of the development work is now on 5.x. In the past we ran BSDi-OS (a commercial version). Lots of people moved from that to FreeBSD when BSDI (the company) was sold. So there's a lot of support for the 4.x branches and it looks like there will be into the future.
