FreeBSD darkness.gwi 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Aug 27 08:42:03 EDT 2002 jamin@darkness.gwi:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DARKNESS i386 Now, I was under the impression that RELENG_4_* branches were to contain only bug fixes since RELEASE. However, 4.6.2 and 4.6.1, both of which have showed up in RELENG_4_6, contain new features. The question is, is RELENG_4_6 *really* getting us 4.6.2-RELEASE right now, with all the new features as well as bug fixes? Or is it just named incorrectly? If the latter, could the naming convention for this situations be reverted back to 4.6-RELEASE-p## to prevent this type of confusion? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
