I should have clarified what I meant, especially in the context of the thread subject. I meant that people will be able to track changes in 4.0 immediately after its release. Whether it's still 4.0-CURRENT or 4.0-STABLE, I have no idea. Lowell is most likely right; -CURRENT will probably not fork until sometime after the release, probably closer to 4.1-RELEASE, if I had to guess.
