They should reference -release or -stable. There really is little difference between them. We do perhaps a handful of commits to -stable a release. > > People running -current can cope.

The FAQ should not document -current. That's the common place for keeners, and we love to have lots of keeners. But everyone has to learn somewhere, and that's the stable footing of -release.
