I changed this by hand when 4.6 came out. As I (possibly mis-)understand it, RELENG_4_6 should get you 4.6- RELEASE with any security updates. This is for folks who don't want to run the latest -STABLE (not as thoroughly tested as -RELEASE, so greater chance of bugs). Plain old RELENG_4 should get you the latest 4.x-STABLE version. This will always be at least equal to, and usually newer than, 4.x-RELEASE. By the time 5.0 is released, if there are any requirements for updating to the latest -STABLE other than changing to RELENG_5 in the appropriate supfile, I'm sure that information will be made widely available in advance.
