You sure it doesn't say something like:

FreeBSD SkyRsh.aac.dev.com 2.1-STABLE FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE #0: Sun Aug 11 12:46:13 PDT 1996     root@SkyRsh.aac.dev.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SKYRSH  i386


Note, 2.1-STABLE, not 2.1-RELEASE.


Also, Jordan, FYI, 3 or 4 of my clients have also sent me notices saying
``I though you said these would be loaded with 2.1.5 + fixes, why does
it say 2.1''.

I think there is enough confusion out there that the strings should be
changed to this:
TYPE="FreeBSD"
REVISION="2.1.5"
BRANCH="STABLE"

It's still the ``STABLE'' branch, but PAST the 2.1.5 release tag...
``STABLE'' == the cvs RELENG_2_1_0 tag, so I don't want to here the
cvs tag confustion again please...

Just me $0.10 worth...
