FreeBSD 5.2 vs. 5.2.1

[Andrew Kilpatrick]

Hi,

I'm developing an embedded system based on FreeBSD. When I started to build a 
stripped down version of FreeBSD I was using 5.2 RELEASE. Now I keep finding 
that 5.2 has vanished from most servers, and only 5.2.1 is available. This is 
particularly troubling, because I'm worried that I'm targetting my product on 
a mysterious version of FreeBSD. We might be using whatever version we choose 
for the next 5 years or more, without change.

So, my questions is.... what happened to 5.2 RELEASE? Is there some reason 
that it has gone away? Should I be upgrading my embedded distro?
