FreeBSD has 3 types of distros - "CURRENT", "STABLE", and
"RELEASE". In order of increasing stability, they are:
"CURRENT" = currently in development (Alpha) and by far the least stable
of the 3
"RELEASE" = released to the populous at large (Beta) and fairly stable
but may have some issues
"STABLE" = well, just that, stable and the production release of the OS
You've got STABLE and RELEASE mixed-up. STABLE is the beta and RELEASE
is production. A RELEASE is a snapshot in the STABLE branch that has
been tested and deemed ready for production. STABLE is usually "stable"
but is still a development branch and thus, beta.
