Off the top of my head, I think we'll want something like os.4x.rel, os.4x.rel.date, etc. and corresponding os.5x entities. In fact it's a shame that os.current is even called that, since we've been using it for -STABLE releases all this time... I'm looking at this now, but might very well not be able to actually fix it until late tomorrow or even Saturday (I have house guests), so if anyone else wants to beat me to it, feel free.
