Subject:   Why can't I just `release=stable' for sup??

Right about now, I'm thinking that either:

A) I don't understand sup.

B) We did it wrong.

Because rather than being able to do something like:

	sys release=stable host=freefall.cdrom.com hostbase=/home \
		base=/usr prefix=/usr/src delete old compress

I have to do:

	stable-sys release=current host=freefall.cdrom.com hostbase=/home \
		base=/usr prefix=/usr/src delete old compress

Same is true for CVS.  Bleh!

Wouldn't it be nice if "sys" (and all of its brothers and sisters) was
always sys, and only the release= line changed?  If nothing else, it
sure would make ~sup on freefall cleaner.  Am I missing something here?
