freeBSD 5.5 Prerelease ( 5.4 stable )

If you don't like using a beta (nothing wrong with that), you definitely 
should not be using -stable either. There are even less promises 
regarding the reliability and quality of -stable than there are of a 
beta. After all, during the prerelease and beta cycles, the tree is 
getting in shape for a release and there is a focus on fixing as many 
little nits as possible. In between releases, bigger MFCs might hit 
-stable from time to time and make it less reliable.

So, while you are getting confused by the branch name changing, you 
should also rethink whether you want -stable at all. It really seems 
like you should be aiming for RELENG_5_4 (and then RELENG_5_5 once 5.5 
is out) instead.
