Hi all,

I am preparing to upgrade all servers from FBSD 6.2 to 6.3 in preperation 
for 6.4, and some day 7.x

One thing I have always found a little confusing is what tag to specify in 
the supfile.

If a machine is running 6.2, and I want to upgrade to the latest production 
release, would I use:

RELENG_6_3 ?

Also, What do you all think about jumping from 6.4 straight to 7.1 when its 
released (cvsup method)?

All flames, sarcastic comments, snipes and quips welcome. Anything usefull 
comments also appreciated!

P.S. I have read the Handbook over and over, but maybe I am still missing 
something.
