You still haven't got it.
This is what the FAQ states:
-release: The version of OpenBSD shipped every six months on CD.
-stable: Release, plus patches considered critical to security and
reliability.
-stable is not moving. It's just -release plus the errata from
http://www.openbsd.org/errata40.html as stated in he FAQ.
Get the sources from your CDs or from the FTP servers. Then apply the errata
and you'll have -stable. It's as easy as that.
To be *completely* accurate, there's a small difference between
release+patches and -stable: (-stable) "contains important patches and
fixes (i.e. those from the errata plus others which are obvious and
simple, but do not deserve an errata entry)."
http://www.openbsd.org/stable.html
...if we're purposefully trying to simplify, for Karel, I apologize.
We can get the crayons back out.
