There is no such thing as 4.8-STABLE. There is a security fixes only branch
called 'RELENG_4_8'. The branch commonly referred to as -STABLE or 4-STABLE
is known in CVS and CVSup as 'RELENG_4'. If you can handle the (very)
occasional hiccup, and want more features earlier then a release can provide
you, you should follow RELENG_4. If you want an absolutely reliable system,
you should use RELENG_4_8.
