Agreed...If it just said -REL_ENG  it would be fine, wouldnt it?  Except
that doesnt stable turn INTO REL_ENG in/during/around the prerelease code
freeze?

maybe -RELEASE-1 -RELEASE-2 for each update that hits REL_ENG?  or even
-RELEASE-yearmonthday ala -STABLE?  I suppose the later would make more
sense...
