Someone in the know needs to clarify this.

I always believed bug fixes did go into FreeBSD RELEASE,
certainly security fixes do, and that FreeBSD Stable was
a conservative version of CURRENT, getting new features from
CURRENT as they were deemed stable enough for general use,
with the chance of the occasional bug still remaining.
