Why do we rename stable > to -PRERELEASE at all? It's decidedly a (minor) downgrade to try to go > from -PRERELEASE to -RELEASE since anyone that manages to get a > -PRERELEASE build is still along -STABLE. -PRERELEASE indicates that the stable branch is currently in code freeze in preparation of a release. The expectation here is that whatever you are seeing in the build would end up in an upcoming release (X.Y), unless they were reverted (for -STABLE, they would go to the next release, or X.Y+1, or never, if X.Y is the last release). I believe traditionally we also bump __FreeBSD_version when -STABLE become -PRERELEASE, which typically happens when we enter a code freeze, but more recent -STABLE branches seems to have moved to doing __FreeBSD_version bumps at the time of -BETA, but technically I think we do want to bump __FreeBSD_version as early as we promoted -STABLE to -PRERELEASE to match the hardcoded version number...
