Sorry, I had > misunderstood you. Naturally, I would not use the "RELENG_" but refer to them as FreeBSD-3 or some other isomorphic usr-friendly label. I would get rid of "-STABLE" part of elsewhere because it is redundant. However, I would not discard "STABLE" entirely. I would just make an alias or symbolic link to the most recent release that deserves that "blessing". BTW, I think it was a mistake to attach the "blessing" so soon after the branch was created.
