-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...

Cheers,
