As of the next rebuild of the doc set for the Web site, anywhere that refers to the "current version" of FreeBSD will mention "5.1" and "4.8". As many of you are aware, 5.1-RELEASE is still waiting for src/ tagging and final builds, but we needed to make this change in order to get current information into the doc set that will go out with the release. (Yet another "chicken and egg" problem.) We might get some queries from users as to why the Handbook and FAQ say that 5.1 is current when it's really not, so be prepared. This BTW is no different from any other release we've done, and I've tried really hard to reduce the time where users can get confused by this. I'm open to suggestions (preferably post-release) as to how we can eliminate this altogether. One possibility is to temporarily turn off builds of the doc set for the Web site during the last few days of the release cycle. This makes the docs on the Web site out of date but hopefully just for a short time.
