Aww Robert!

That's not fair.  :-)

Each of these is intended for a specific purpose and audience.

2.2.x has been announced for EOL.

3.x-STABLE is where the typical user concerned with stability
oughta be.  I ran -current just long enough for it to converge
with -stable.

4.0-CURRENT is really just a tag, advancing the bleeding edge
nature of -current onto its track toward 4.0-RELEASE.

IMHO the best way to get the most value out of FreeBSD is to
understand that it is a source-focused distribution and to
take good advantage of the CVSup facility.

>From this perspective, there is only -current and -stable.
