The freebsd-update program will track RELEASE-p because this is
what it can do. It won't follow STABLE because that's not possible
with this tool. :-)

The common method of "freebsd-update upgrade" (see manpage) will
then bring you to 8.1-RELEASE, I think, and will then follow the
track of 8.1-RELEASE-p1, -p2, -p3 and so on. You can additionally
request a specific release with the -r parameter.
