I know the subject of user confusion on STABLE and RELEASE has come up = in the past, but I found out that releng is also confusing as I was = recently talking to someone who only ran releng versions of freebsd = because he thought that was an English only version of Release. I know this is probably futile and there's little reason to change, but = I think all three animus could be better. STABLE -> "PreRelease" or "Candidate" (although RC is already used, so = many not that) RELEASE -> "" or "Production" or=20 Releng -> Development I'm not proposing the these are the names that should be picked, but I = think names could be picked that make it clearer that RELEASE is the = 'real' version for most everyone and not stable and spells out more = clearly what releng is. --=20 Hello Diane, I'm Bucky Goldstein
