I am using RELENG_7, but when I first installed FreeBSD 7.0 stable the output said FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE so I was expecting to see FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE. My thinking is that FreeBSD uses a version/branch syntax to help people quickly see what version is installed and what branch is being followed. Those following "stable" have two descriptions following the pattern:

FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE
FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE
FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE
FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE
FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE
FreeBSD 7.3-PRERELEASE
FreeBSD 7.3-STABLE

Those following "release" will have three descriptions following the pattern:

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE
FreeBSD 7.1-BETA#
FreeBSD 7.1-RC#
FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE
FreeBSD 7.2-BETA#
FreeBSD 7.2-RC#
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE
