You're only looking at 2 of many values, your making your decision based
upon incomplete information.  Values of ``BRANCH'' (to be renamed FLAVOR
after the 2.2.5 release) are ALPHA, BETA, ..., RELEASE, STABLE, CURRENT.

Now, tell me it can go away since you now have all the information and
I't will after the 2.2.5 release.

Okay, I'll buy that, it means we can set FLAVOR == CURRENT instead of
FLAVOR == STABLE on the RELENG_2_1 and RELENG_2_2 branches.  Now is that
ever going to confuse the shit out of users :-)
