The release/X.Y.Z are actually "tags" and not branches (i.e. read only copy of whatever state is in the release engineering/errata branch, releng/X.Y, is at the time it's released), but technically in svn a tag is also a branch. We do all efforts to avoid making any changes once a tag is laid, because it's a historical and reference point. Users who use -RELEASE should track releng/X.Y branch, or use freebsd-update(1) to keep their system up-to-date. Our goal is to allow a majority of users to use binary releases without having to compile and build themselves. If you know some specific reasons that forces you to compile yourself, please consider sending re@ an email so we will see what we can improve this.
