 Yes. RELENG_4 is currently the -STABLE branch.

 This is not the intended behaviour. If you want to get a particular
 release (such as 4.4-RELEASE) specify, for example:
 	*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_4_0_RELEASE
 
 If you want to get the latest -STABLE additions to 4.4, try this:
 	*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_4

 The stable supfile is working exactly as intended.
