Looks quite good.  The only minor nit is that -BETA and -RC don't
exist as CVS tags, they are just changes to the REVISION and BRANCH
variables in /sys/conf/newvers.sh 

Once the release engineer is satisfied that a release candidate is
suitable for release, he will change the BRANCH name in
/sys/conf/newvers.sh to "RELEASE" and apply the appropriate CVS tag.

I don't know if you want to document the way ports freezes work
for completeness.
