One would assume that the release would be supported up until the EOL
provided on freebsd.org of May 31, 2008.

"Support" does not mean that new features and upgrades are automatically
back-ported. Security fixes and some bug-fixes will be provided. If you
want new features, you may need to upgrade (hence Doug's suggestion that
not MFCing bind 9.3.4 to RELENG_5 is an incentive to upgrade to 6.x).
