Why not add an entry to UPDATING and teach portsnap(8) about EOLTIME?
# a sample text based on freebsd-update(8)
if [ ${EOLTIME} -lt ${NOWTIME} ]; then
echo
cat <<-EOF
WARNING: `uname -sr` HAS PASSED ITS END-OF-LIFE DATE.
Any ports issues discovered after `date -r ${EOLTIME}`
specific to your version may not be corrected.
EOF
return 1
fi
For one, not reading UPDATING pretty much guarantees running into an
issue at some point anyway compared to not reading ports-announce@ list.
