Not at all, as I said, I intended to update to RELENG_4_3. My surprise came from the fact that, in my mind, I am no longer running 4.3-RELEASE, but something more recent. It seems to me that this 'version' of FreeBSD should reports itself as something other than the -RELEASE that it was derived from. I'm happy that my system is running RELENG_4_3, this is a more general question about what we should call a system compiled from the RELENG_4_3 branch. Thanks!
