That's not how I thought it worked, and seems counter-intuitive, but it
will do. It seems like there should be a branch for necessary changes to
a release, like bug fixes for example.

If releases are static, then what is the proper way to get bug fixes
for production/stable releases? 

For example, things like dhcpd were broken in 1.5, and needed to be
updated on one of my machines. That was my primary reason for starting
to use sup. 

I just want the latest version of a release's sources, not the bleeding
edge of a release branch.
