My opinion is slightly different. Here is my interpretation of the way things should be... "Stable", and for that matter "current", do not really designate development branches. I feel that they are simply aliases that reflect the state of development. Using both "2.1.5" and "STABLE" is redundant. I think that "2.1" is the proper name of the branch. We are awaiting the CD for revision "RELEASE-5" Those who have gotten today's update are at revision "CTM-154" However, to help avoid confusion among the uninitiated, perhaps we should call today's version "FreeBSD 2.1.5-154","FreeBSD 2.1.5p154", or something similar.
