So, if RELENG_4 is always newer than RELENG_4_6 and RELENG_4_6 has been
patched for the problems mentioned above, wouldn't RELENG_4 either be
patched or have newer versions of the programs? In other words, if
RELENG_4 is the STABLE version leading to the next point RELEASE, wouldn't
it have the security problems taken care of already?
