Isn't this in the FAQ somewhere?  If not, it should be.  :-)

4.6-PRERELEASE == 4.5-STABLE.  As you may know, we (the release
engineering team) have just started the release cycle for FreeBSD
4.6-STABLE.  One of the first things we do is to change the version
number/name to indicate this fact, and (more importantly) make sure that
the base system and ports still work on a system claiming to be "FreeBSD
4.6".

When we get to doing release candidates, you'll see 4.6-RC for a few 
weeks if you're tracking -STABLE.

Bruce.
