    Hmm, I wonder if the RELENG team would
    bristle at that statement, especially taken
    out of context as I have here. We might want
    to mention that the tree is "frozen" for some
    weeks prior to a RELEASE to make sure
    that no unexpected "features" are added
    to the code prior to it's RELEASE date...and
    to give time for at least a certain type of testing....

    RELEASES are tested, but not by the general
    public per se*, prior to being tagged and made
    available to that public as X_X_RELEASE.

    $0.02 for clarification,

    *Apart from the developers/committers, users
    who read -STABLE (as an example) are encouraged
    to update to the "frozen" code base and give it a
    workout in hopes that any hidden gnats will come
    out in the open prior to the RELEASE date....
