So 5.3 is the first stable 5 serie? In general, the > releases and stable versions are not quite clear to me. Releases are fixed points in time. They are marked on their respective branch of development and that's it. A x.y-RELEASE version is effectively a symbolic name for a specific moment in time. The STABLE branch, on the other hand, is a 'branch'. It can still go on for a long time after the release moment. > Btw, i already run 5.2.1-p11 on smp machines with the ule scheduler > enabled.

You should probably consider updating to a newer 5.X version, either RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE or RELENG_5.
