I have wondered the same thing after reading all the security advisories
concerning the 4.5-RELEASE networking code, an area of the BSDs that is
otherwise well-known for its great track record... I used to depend on
-RELEASEs for production machines and only tracked -STABLE when it was
necessary, but right now I'm happy that my upgrade plan for this month
already was to bring all machines to -STABLE.

Maybe the FreeBSD developer community has been under pressure a bit too
much as a result of the big changes in the last year, who knows... I'll
stick around for 5.0 anyway. Hopefully my C will be on par to help out a
bit. :)
