Hi Jakub,

RELENG_7 is 7-STABLE.
RELENG_7_0 will become 7.0-RELEASE, and is what you should track now if
you intend to upgrade to 7.0-RELEASE. After 7.0-RELEASE, it will be
turned over to the security team, and only security fixes and errata
will be checked in (7.0-RELEASE-p1 etc.).
The _BP versions mark the branch points - where the tree was when the
tag mentioned was branched. They won't be updated at all.
Corrections are welcomed if I've misunderstood.
Best wishes,
David
