Drop "New Technology" Moniker

I have said this in the past. Now seems like a pertinent time to express
this opinion again.
Please let -STABLE be stable and -CURRENT be the development branch.
Please do not call anything from the -CURRENT branch a -RELEASE. Please do
not label code as a "new technology release" as a notional label. Please
either release the code or don't.
Instead of waiting for a "dot-oh" release to know that the next major
version of FreeBSD is ready for prime time, users wait for a "this time we
really mean it" release announcement. The difference is mostly semantic.
The old way was more rigorous. I like the old way better.
Thanks,
Jason C. Wells
