Though I admit RELENG_4 is getting dusty, it is not rusty. I believe it
is still used in many places because of its stability and performance.
[...]
Is it envisageable to extend the RELENG_4's and RELENG_4_11's EoL once
more ?

Yes, I'm also voting for it.

I realize that resources to keep chasing this stuff are in limited supply, but if you solicit the opinion of the community, I'd bet that more people would rather see 4.x support continue than 5.x support.

I know that it would be a violation of the stated policy, but I think that supporting 4.x and 6.x over the next year would benefit way more people than the current plan of supporting 5.x and 6.x and eol'ing 4.x.

just a thought...
