5-STABLE doesn't exist yet.  The upcoming 5.3-RELEASE is planned as
the first 5-STABLE release.  See

I'm not sure what you are getting at here.  CVSup talks directly to a
CVS repository and so you get to see commits shortly after they are
made.  CTM generates update batches every 8 hours and relies on CVSup
to access the master repository.  CVSup is always going to be more
up-to-date than CTM.

CVSup also allows you to pick arbitrary CVS tags, wheres CTM is
limited to RELENG_3, RELENG_4 and head.  If this is a problem, use CTM
to replicate the repository and do your own checkout.

Because 5-STABLE doesn't exist yet.  I'm sure that once it exists,
you'll be able to get a CTM feed.
