Do they?

AFAIK we CTM users basically receive a constant stream of deltas, for
src-4 and src-cur (and ports-cur). 5.2.1-p9 is just a snapshot of this
stream of deltas at a specific given time. However, under CTM it's not
named 5.2.1-p9 but just RELENG_5.

AFAIK src-cur is just that.

FWIW, I (running src-4 aka 4-STABLE) have added a single line to
sys/conf/newvers.sh:

This overrides the "kernel generation number" and displays the number of
my CTM delta instead:

In other words, I am currently on a machine that has src-4.1953.gz
applied, but no further deltas. (This may change tonight. :-))
