Hi all,
 

  just a very basic question that would resolve a dispute between colleagues.

When one talks about Fbsd3.3-STABLE my impression is that such version is a 
stage before the Fbsd3.3-RELEASE. In other words the  -RELEASE is for the 
final version and the -STABLE is the version that is soon (after some further 
bug settling) to become -RELEASE.

Is this the case?


Theo
