Hi Jakub,

In message <20080120220731.64a653c9@dev>, Jakub Siroky

RELENG_7 is 7-STABLE.

RELENG_7_0 will become 7.0-RELEASE, and is what you should track now if 
you intend to upgrade to 7.0-RELEASE. After 7.0-RELEASE, it will be 
turned over to the security team, and only security fixes and errata 
will be checked in (7.0-RELEASE-p1 etc.).


The _BP versions mark the branch points - where the tree was when the 
tag mentioned was branched. They won't be updated at all.


Corrections are welcomed if I've misunderstood.



Best wishes,




David
