Now wait a minute, have we completely dismissed the use of 'sup' for
tracking our source tree, in favor of AnonCVS?  Typically we've left the
branch as-is for at least a few days to allow release builds... this time,
osrelease.sh was only bumped to 1.5 Thursday night, followed by a "last
minute fix" Friday afternoon, and now we've bumped up to 1.5.1_ALPHA,
_before a sup scan could pick up that "last minute" fix_.  This is a real
pain for those of us who have been using sup to track the release cycle
and wanted to get a good last snapshot of 1.5 as released...  (Yes, I know
how to use AnonCVS, but for simple tracking, and _especially_ for importing
into a local CVS tree (for tracking local changes), sup is a much simpler
and much more lightweight method.)

And speaking of which, traditionally the 'current' branch of sup has
followed the release cycle and then returned to current a few days after
the official release.  But during the past year we added the 'release'
branch to sup, which followed the netbsd-1-4 branch.  What now?  Does
'current' revert to real current, and 'release' jump to netbsd-1-5 branch
(thus causing a huge surprise for those who have been tracking 1.4.3 that
way), or are we adding a new 'release-1-5' branch, or are we discounting
sup altogether (as the above timing could suggest)?
