it isn't every three months... there's no set time limit... for example, 2.9.6.2 
is still supported and it has been available since July of 2014... call 2.9.6.2 
an ""LTS"" version if you will...

you might look here but i don't know if it is restricted to subscribers or if it 
applies to all...  https://www.snort.org/eol

otherwise i'm pretty sure that joel will be along shortly and clarify this for 
you and the rest of us ;)
