<para>Back when FreeBSD 2.0.5 was released, we decided to
branch FreeBSD development into two parts. One branch was
named <ulink URL="../handbook/current-stable.html#STABLE">-STABLE</ulink>,
with the intention that only well-tested bug fixes and small
incremental enhancements would be made to it (for Internet
Service Providers and other commercial enterprises for whom
sudden shifts or experimental features are quite
undesirable). The other branch was <ulink

which essentially has been one unbroken line leading towards
5.0-RELEASE (and beyond) since 2.0 was released. If a little
ASCII art would help, this is how it looks:</para>
