Daniel,

The RELEASE branch is exactly what it says, RELEASE. And is only done
once per version when the actual official RELEASE is. So the next one
will be the upcoming 10.2-RELEASE. Which is schedules for August 2015
according to:
	https://www.freebsd.org/releng/
But note that releases are often delayed for a few weeks in de
BETA/Release Candidate process.

The other way to get to the front of the like is starting and tracking
10-STABLE which is the running front of the kernel/software development.

As I read the bug report, the fix is also included in 10-STABLE.
