Is there any paticular pressing need to use -STABLE versus -RELEASE? I
followed the book last weekend and tried to upgrade from 4.0-STABLE to
4.0-RELEASE, and it cvsup'ed and built just fine. It would not install
however. There were several errors in creating links, trying to install
non-existant files, etc. After about an hour trying get get it
installed, I gave up.

At that time I figured it good enough to stick with -RELEASE. But now
I'm wondering if this is the proper attitude. So how important is
-STABLE?
