Ok got it. So the name -STABLE does not necessary mean the system is 
more stable than a PRERELEASE? I don't think a few security patches 
shall bring the system in an unstable state. And if the pathes are 
installed, the system name will remain 4.8-STABLE, not 4.9-PRERELEASE. 
The advisories said to update to STABLE, so I did, and I got 
4.9-PRERELEASE. That is the new 'name' for STABLE?

Thanks,
Alin.
