People say "read the handbook". If it is written in stone there, someone please re-edit this section:
-------- 19.2.2.2. Who needs FreeBSD-STABLE?
If you are a commercial user or someone who puts maximum stability of their FreeBSD system before all other concerns, you should consider tracking stable. This is especially true if you have installed the most recent release (4.2-RELEASE at the time of this writing) since the stable branch is effectively a bug-fix stream relative to the previous release.
--------
please add "once every few months it will say BETA but don't worry, it isn't really a beta, because it is more stable than STABLE!"
To be honest, I don't see the release process discussed in the handbook at all! There is a section explaining STABLE vs. CURRENT, but that's about it.
Seems to me that if the lowest-common-denominator had some way to stay stable that didn't involve using cvsup or a compiler, this would be a non-issue.
Numbered binary patches, anyone?
Joe
