I can vouch for that - I have just been bitten by the fact that the mini iso image marked as 4.8-RELEASE does NOT appear to contain 4.8-RELEASE.... It is marked up as 4.8-RELEASE, but loads of the files are old versions. To reiterate: DO NOT DOWNLOAD 4.8-RELEASE until it is announced. Less haste more speed, I guess. The only reason I tried to do it, though was because the snapshots on snapshots.jp.freebsd.org stop on the 29th, and I wanted the sendmail updates.
