Description dima 2000-11-05 23:30:01 UTC 
When a release is about to be made, -STABLE becomes -RC (or -BETA, in
the case of 4.1.1 -> 4.2).  Some people get scared and e-mail
freebsd-questions.  Answering them quickly gets repetitive.  Since
this happens every time a release is about to be made, I think it
warrants an FAQ entry.

I remember someone saying they were going to write something to this
affect, but I can't seem to find it (`grep -ri -- -rc *` doesn't
return anything relevant).

Fix: Apply the following to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.

How-To-Repeat: 
Subscribe to and follow freebsd-questions during a code freeze.
