We will support Drupal/Pressflow 6 in all new releases, as long as available PHP versions will allow to use it (and we run our own Pressflow 6 site on PHP 5.6 for many months).
Furthermore, BOA installation and upgrades (both for barracuda and octopus) come with legacy
mode: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/docs/UPGRADE.txt#L117
Currently the legacy
mode points to BOA-2.2.9, but soon you will be able to specify also 2.3.x and 2.4.x series: https://github.com/omega8cc/boa/blob/master/aegir/tools/bin/boa#L1199 (it now works for installation only).
Note that BOA-2.2.9 comes with ancient PHP 5.2 and still supports Drupal 5, which is a good example on how we interpret the "legacy" keyword.
This means that you will be able to run legacy Drupal versions indefinitely, and still run system upgrades with barracuda up-legacy system
or (soon) barracuda up-legacy 2.2
or barracuda up-legacy 2.3
or barracuda up-legacy 2.4
etc.
That's great to hear, thanks! :-)
Drupal 6 will officially be unsupported by the Drupal project after February 24th, 2016:

What are the plans for BOA's support of Drupal 6?
Will there be a way to continue using BOA for Drupal over the long-term (ie. even if that means staying on an old version or a using a special "channel")?
