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?
