I belevie RELENG_4_5 is what he's searching for, he was asking about a branch where commits are safe (oh well, as safe it can get), not -STABLE wich isn't pointed for production systems.
Albert, look at this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html

Hi, I recently installed freebsd 4.5 cd release. I use openbsd which uses it's stable branch to apply security fixes, bug fixes, and other safe changes. Obviousely freebsd stable does not fullfill the same roll. Is there an equvalent in freebsd to openbsd stable? Or, put another way, how can I cvsup important changes to my freebsd 4.5 cd release? I was looking around the cvsweb and noticed RELENG_4_5_BP. What is it?
FreeBSD stable does what you want. Use the stable supfile in /usr/share/examples/cvsup to grab the latest stable sources.
