As I expect lots of people will come to DFly from FreeBSD 4.x, changing 
the meaning of -STABLE may be confusing for some.  Whatever scheme is 
used for naming builds, I think -STABLE should be retired.

Also, out of curiousity, how long will the patched release branch be 
maintained?

Personally, I like the following:

1.1-ALPHA	- build based on HEAD (.)
1.1-BETA	- build based on the slip tag (DFly_Beta)
1.2-RC		- a release canidate from the release branch (DFly_1_2)
1.2-RELEASE	- Final "Gold" image from release branch. (DFly_1_2)
1.2p1-RELEASE   - The release patch branch. (DFly_1_2_Updated)
