I think that right now RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_2 are the same, but when
6.3 comes out, RELENG_6 will be the same as RELENG_6_3 and RELENG_6_2
will be something else.

Not sure I understand your question. You buildworld every time you
upgrade your system and need to rebuild your system.

But you may decide that the fix is a minor thing and that you can save
time from rebuilding everything and apply patch manually.

Bests,

Olivier
