 * what I'd lioke to see in -current (aka 3.0) is __FreeBSD__=3 instead of
 * __FreeBSD__=2. This would make it easier to differentiate between 2.2 and

I agree with this.

Also, I would like to propose to have osreldate updated in a way that
all 2.1*s come before all 2.2*s and they come before all 3.*s.  As
seen in the recent top port debacle, simply using the release
year/month is bound to utter confusion.

Right now we have (from the handbook):

===
2.0-RELEASE:                    199411
2.1-current's:                  199501, 199503
2.0.5-RELEASE:                  199504
2.2-current before 2.1:         199508
2.1.0-RELEASE:                  199511
2.2-current before 2.1.5:       199512
2.1.5-RELEASE:                  199607
2.2-current before 2.1.6:       199608
2.1.6-RELEASE:                  199612
2.2-RELEASE:                    199701
3.0-current as of Feb 1997:     199702  (will certainly be bumped)

Obviously everything up to 2.1.6R can't be changed, but the last two
are still salvagable.  Let's say we make them

===
2.2-RELEASE:                    199707
3.0-current as of Feb 1997:     199801
===

so we have more space to squeeze in 2.1.7R and 2.2.5R and such without
sacrificing the linear ordering.
