If you go back to 6.2-STABLE, you'll be left with a system that can never be updated again since 6.2-STABLE no longer exists. Any time you updated it, the name would change again which you seem to have a problem with. If you keep following RELENG_6, you'll end up running 6.3-STABLE after the release. Or, you could choose to run 6.2-RELEASE (RELENG_6_2) or 6.3-RELEASE (RELENG_6_3) after it's released. For right now, there's really no difference between 6.2-STABLE and 6.3-PRERELEASE. If you do nothing, you'll eventually be running 6.3-STABLE. -- Skip
