	There is only one CURRENT and it has 5 for the leading digit.

	There are three RELENG branches (more or less) alive,

	RELENG_2, RELENG_3 and RELENG_4.

	RELENG branches cycle through STABLE -> BETA -> RELEASE -> STABLE ...

	BETA is the lockdown and test period prior to RELEASE when things are
most stable. RELEASE is a point, and STABLE is the rest of the time.
