SNORT version lifecycle

[<Hanson.Webster () salemfive com>]

Looking at the EOL table it appears that SNORT versions go end of life after 6 months. 2.9.6 was valid from 1/2014 
until 7/2014 and 2.9.61 was valid from 4/2014 until 10/2014.  Should I assume that 2.9.6.2 will go EOL in February of 
2015?

What is the procedure for updating SNORT?  Is it required to update it twice a year?
