I don't really think you can do that. The branch is just 3-STABLE
really, with the CVS tag "RELENG_3", and its version number just happens
to be 3.4 at the moment. If you don't want to use 3.5-RC, just don't
cvsup once it comes out. Resume your cvsupping after 3.5 is released to
get 3.5-STABLE if you want.

Why don't you want to use 3.5-RC though? IME, -RC is no worse than
-STABLE; it just has a different name (if anything, it should be better
than the -STABLE before it in the same way that -STABLE is better than
the previous -STABLE, etc). My two servers at home have been up for 58
days on 3.4-RC, only brought down then by a brief power cut, so I don't
think it's all that bad.
