This typically happened in the past a couple of days around the actual release. If you look at the history of sys/conf/newvers.sh (e.g. at the github mirror, if CVS is too much effort for one file) you'll see 6.9 went out of beta on April, 4 and into current on April 18. I'd guess snapshots made during this period all are marked “release”. Best regards Robert
