How does one get the actual released version?  I thought that if I used
"release" that I would get 1.5 until 1.5.1 is actually released and not
get ALPHA and BETA versions.  If I stick with "release" will I get 1.5.1
up to release when it switches to 1.5.2_ALPHA or will it stop there?

I mostly run -current but there are a few machines that I would like to
upgrade only on releases.
