Asimismo, Asterisk 1.6.2 será la única versión que seguirá recibiendo actualizaciones normales hasta que aparezca por fín la esperada versión de Asterisk 1.8.
Como nota curiosa: tanto Asterisk 1.4 como Asterisk 1.6.2 serán las únicas versiones que ampliarán el plazo para recibir mantenimiento hasta que el equipo de desarrolladores de Asterisk publique Asterisk 1.8.

Vea la nota oficial:
Submitted by asteriskteam on Wed, 03/31/2010 – 14:02
Maintenance of Asterisk 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 will move to security fixes only
in approximately one month. There are bug fix releases scheduled to be
released during the first half of May for both versions. After those
releases, Asterisk 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 will only receive security fixes.
The Asterisk development team recommends that all users of Asterisk 1.6.0
and 1.6.1 series move to the 1.6.2 series for continued bug fix support.
For more information on the maintenance schedule for Asterisk releases,
please see the following page:

Note that the maintenance schedule for Asterisk 1.4 and 1.6.2 will
likely be extended, pending the final determination of the release
schedule for Asterisk 1.8.
Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!
