Hello, Alexey.

NetBSD-6.1 is the source code for the NetBSD 6.1 release; it never
changes.  NetBSD-release-6 is the source code for the NetBSD 6 stable
branch; it changes to reflect the source of the "netbsd-6" stable branch
in CVS. See [1] and [2].

As for the 5 tarballs in NetBSD-6.1 vs. 27 in NetBSD-release-6, I don't
know why that is.

Regards,

Lewis
