Keep an eye on the end of software maintenance release, which appears to be
July 28, 2009 for all versions of PIX OS. According to Cisco, this is the
last date they will release any maintenance versions or bug fixes for PIX
OS. Hopefully there aren't too many major deficiencies in some of the older
code trains (6.3 has been around quite a while now), but some consideration
is probably warranted on the decision to run code that will no longer be
patched by the vendor.

This is basically a repeat of what Cisco did with their VPN concentrator
last year.

Chad
