"Just a quick note to say that as part of the FreeBSD-6.0 Release Cycle
the RELENG_6 branch tag has just been created in the CVS repository. In
preparation for the release some places in the tree now say that this
branch is -STABLE but there is still work to do before this branch will
be ready for release. People who are not in a position to help work out
the remaining bugs in the RELENG_6 branch as we work towards the
FreeBSD-6.0 Release should definitely continue using RELENG_5_4 or
RELENG_5 as appropriate.

Thanks."
