Releases have always been considered stable. :-)  At least at the time they
are cut.  A -RELEASE is a snapshot of a -STABLE branch.  Currently, there are
three branches that call themselves -STABLE: RELENG_4, RELENG_5 and RELENG_6,
respectively 4-STABLE, 5-STABLE and 6-STABLE.

  A farm in the country side had several turkeys, it was known as the
  house of seven gobbles.
