Ok... Had a meeting with my account manager and SE. What has been written above is true, in summary...

 

 

9.3.x - Bugfix/Patch support for 1 year from v10 announcement

 

 

9.4.x / 9.6.x - as above but for two years

 

 

Recommended current strategy is to move all units (LTM + GTM) to v9.4.6 (rumoured 9.4.7 soon). This will be valid for two year by which time v10 will mature.

 

 

This will start the new 2 yearly software cycle that F5 are proposing.

 

 

*Note: v10 hasn't officially been announced yet.
