Hi,

please forgive me if this is a FAQ, but just what is the meaning of the RELENG_4 
branch? Is it more current then RELENG_4_7 or RELENG_4_8 ?
What should i use if i want to get security patches for my 4.7-RELEASE-p4 
installation?
What would happen if i use RELENG_4 ?

Thanks for your patience, if this is a FAQ.
