The kernel build message for -release indicates the release number only, and does not include "-release" in the message. The -stable and -current flavors are additional indicators in the message, as defined in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh.

actually before i applied the patches, instead of showing RELEASE (pre syspatch), it was showing GENERIC.MP#107
My reading of this question is that it's a confusion between the terms GENERIC and -release. The two are essentially unrelated. GENERIC refers to a particular kernel configuration, i.e., what devices are compiled into the kernel and what parameters are used. This is unaffected by the OS branch, whether it's a -release, -stable, -current or -franken system, which refers to patch application and stage of development.
