If you really want a snapshot from the stable/10 branch, look for
10.3-PRERELEASE.  When stable/10 was branched in preparation for
10.3-RELEASE (creating the releng/10.3 branch), newvers.sh on the
stable/10 branch was edited to change REVISION from 10.2 to 10.3 and
BRANCH from STABLE to PRERELEASE.  Commits to the stable/10 branch after
this point are eligible to be merged to releng/10.3 if approved by re@.

Once 10.3 is officially released, then newvers.sh will be modified again
to change BRANCH from PRERELEASE back to STABLE, and the snapshots will
then be named 10.3-STABLE.

I suspect that the oldest of the 10.2-STABLE snapshots has been expired.
I don't know why there haven't been any 10.3-PRERELASE snapshot .iso
files created since January ...

"Upcoming: 10.3" which will take you to
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/schedule.html .  That shows
that _in theory_ the announcement should have been made on the 29th.

I am not on the Release Engineering team so I can only go by the
schedule.

If you wish to open up a problem report, please use Bugzilla, e.g.,
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Documentation .
Otherwise, a post to freebsd-doc@ might be helpful.

Thank you John, Jason, and Mark for answering my question so
completely.

I do believe that I understand everything you all have said,
and the current state of play with respect to 10.3-RELEASE.
I would however like to ask if there is an ETA for 10.3-RELEASE
actually being official and final. (The keyword here, of course,
being 'estimated".  I understand that an omelette as tasty as
this one is fully cooked when it is fully cooked, and not a
second sooner.)

Also, and separately, I should ask who would be the Right Person
for me to send a small suggestion for the Handbook to?

My simple small suggestion is that it might be helpful to include
some explanation of the use and meaning of the various "uefi" images
that are available for download, e.g. under section 2.3.1:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-pre.html

(I myself have, and continue, to try my best to ignore all this UEFI
stuff as much as possible, and I've been successfully doing that
for several years now.  But eventually there may come a day when
I cannot do so anymore.  So I'd just like to know when it is either
necessary or advisable to use these various *-uefi-* images.)
