No. RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE is 4.0-RELEASE a snapshop of the branch you want: RELENG_4. Once the CD's are rolled, nothing tagged with RELENG_4_0_0_RELEASE (or similar) changes. There isn't really any point in downloading one of the _RELEASE tags since that's what's on the CD and ftp site in binary form. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
