I had wondered this before, and now I wonder again after a recent
pkgbase discussion about versioning schemes. Why do we rename stable
to -PRERELEASE at all? It's decidedly a (minor) downgrade to try to go
from -PRERELEASE to -RELEASE since anyone that manages to get a
-PRERELEASE build is still along -STABLE.

Thanks,
