The primary issue is that doing releases from two active branches is simply a huge drain on time, particularly the portmgr@ and re@ teams, but also for developers in general. (Think of how many code freezes and port freezes we've done this year and you'll sort of get the idea.) We're talking about doing more lightweight releases for the 4 series (hence 4.9.1), but the details have yet to be worked out. Until then, it's premature to be worrying about what their version numbers will be.
