The cvsup files say that 2.1.0-RELENG is the -stable. By cvsuping -stable over my 2.2.2R, it did erase lots of files, notably /etc/rc.conf. I found this quite annoying. My concern is this. I need to run stable servers and I can't spare the time to be running -current give-it-a-shot servers. I need most-recent-release plus patches. Is the -stable branch the one I need?
