Sorry but I have to correct myself (half asleep):

Amended last 2 paras above.

What I should have added. After 6.3 RELEASE, RELENG_6 becomes 6.3
STABLE. Then it will go through the release process again and become
6.4 PRERELEASE, RC & then RELEASE.

7.0 STABLE is RELENG_7 but that will go through the same process as
6.3 but with betas before pre-release and the rc's (I think) before
RELENG_7_0 (7.0 RELEASE) is created and RELENG_7 goes back to being
7.0 STABLE until the release process for 7.1 kicks in.

I think I've got it right now! But the definitive word is on the
homesite.

To answer your question though, 6.2 STABLE doesn't exist any longer.
