there does seem to be a bit of duplication going on here, which could cause
confusion. Maybe we could have a security sup file that has the relevant tag
for the release

# grep -v "#" /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

src-all

# grep -v "#" /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile

*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

src-all
