Close:

Current == 3.0
Release = 2.2.x
Stable == 2.1.x

Release will become Stable sometime around 2.2.3, I'd say.

Actually, it shouldn't have been renamed to "-stable" yet (it should
have been RELENG or something similar) but Joerg jumped the gun and now
I'm worried that changing it back will result in two groups of
"2.2-STABLE" users - those from phase I or phase II. :-)  I think the
damage is already done and we'll probably just have to live with it.

In any case, 2.2 is not quite "stable" yet - that will happen soon
enough though, with more testing and the wider release of 2.2.1 on the
net and CDROM.
