--- Comment #1 from Warren Block <wblock at FreeBSD.org> ---
"the stable cvsup target is built from the latest official RELEASE with the
addition of critical bug fixes."

I'd say it's not entirely accurate fixing just the VCS name.  Stable also
includes minor bug fixes and new features.  And it would be useful to define
what "stable" actually means, a stable ABI.  As a first pass:

"Stable" is the branch where development continues after a RELEASE, including
bug fixes and new features.  The ABI is kept stable for binary compatibility.
