I think that still leaves my question unanswered, it just rephrases it. If
*-RELEASE are simply tags on the RELENG branches, how does the RELENG branch
relate to the STABLE branches? I assume there is some forking or renaming
that goes on. What are the criteria for deciding it's no longer just
stable, but is now release quality?
