Actually, this is not correct.  For 5.3-RELEASE and RELENG_5_3,
standard-supfile points to RELENG_5_3.  For RELENG_5, standard-supfile
points to RELENG_5 (despite the incorrect comment at the top saying it
gets you -CURRENT -- look at the actual CVS tag used).  For -CURRENT,
standard-supfile points to "." (HEAD).  Thus, standard-supfile keeps you
on the branch you are using.

I like that the "standard" is to keep you on the branch you are using. 
This makes sense to me.  I think adding a current-supfile would reduce
confusion (seems like it's the time of year to discuss this:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-December/016071.html).
 However, the biggest problem is definitely the incorrect comment in
standard-supfile...
