     Hello.  I'm seeking clarification of something I just read[1]:

=+=+=+=+=+
} Security fixes for OpenJDK 6 from Oracle will continue at
} least through the EOL of JDK 6 train by Oracle. For more
} information on Oracle's "Java SE and Java for Business
} Support Roadmap", please visit its web page.
=+=+=+=+=+

     The web page which that paragraph references[2] mentions both a commercial "Premier Support" for Java SE 6 ending December 2013 and an "Extended Support" ending December 2016.  I assume "the EOL of JDK 6 train" means when JDK 6 hits the end of its extended support (December 2016).  Is that correct?
     Thank you for the clarification on OpenJDK 6's EOL.
