Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I think that RELENG_XXX tags are
CVS tags that are added to the tree from the `Release Engineer'
(that's Jordan Hubbard) when a new branch is created from -CURRENT.

The RC bit means 'release candidate'.  You'll see these popping up
during the short period before a release is tagged in the tree from
Jordan with the relevant RELENG_XXX_RELEASE name.
