(i.e. 4.1-RC..etc) No. You shouldn't think of it in those terms. The branch is RELENG_4. The names like "-stable" are just symbolic names that we give that branch at certain points in time. We refer most often to "-stable" and "-current" because that's easier than using the RELENG names (I suppose), but in your brain at least you want to keep it straight.
