Indeed.

Better yet, are you sure you understand the ``STABLE'' moniker? I find 
that most people who are asking this are unfamiliar with what the 
``STABLE'' branch is -- a live development branch where code is merged 
to stablize once it has proven its ``test of time'' from CURRENT. It's 
not necessarily the most stable code, security wise. You should track 
-RELEASE plus security patches for a ``stable'' system in that sense.

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html for a more detailed 
explination.
