We intend to only build syspatches for one release in the future.Errata patches will continue to be generated for 2 releases.The reasoning is syspatch on 2 architectures for 2 releases requires 4machines, and therefore twice the handholding. It seems better to keepthe time available to start doing syspatches for more architectures.

This can be seen with the latest TCB errata, for which there are patches forversions 6.1 and6.2,but a binary update only for6.2.
