No -- that's expected.  Once the RELENG_5_3 branch was created, the
RELENG_5 branch would be relabeld as -STABLE.  Note that these are
just technical changes to the CVS repository and that all they do is
presage the actual release/launch of those OS versions.  ie. You might
be seeing 5.3-STABLE in your uname(1) output, but it isn't official
until the project announces it.

If your eventual aim is to install 5.3-RELEASE, this would be a good
time to change your supfile to track RELENG_5_3.  Again -- that's just
producing release candidates at the moment: the release isn't official
until it's announced.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
