I doubt that anyone really knows to be sure.  I don't think me making
an educated guess would help much either, since it might only mislead
people.

The major thing to change in 5.0-current is enhanced multiprocessor
(SMP) support.  Of course there are other changes, read about them here:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/release/texts/i386/RELNOTES.TXT?rev=HEAD

Note that the first sentence,

        This is a 5.0-CURRENT release SNAPshot of FreeBSD, an active
        development branch which will produce its first release in early
        March 2001.

does not mean 5.0-RELEASE will be out in March 2001.  Clearly it wasn't.
I'm not quite sure what that does mean...
