You're right.  I was confused by a misleading comment in <sys/param.h>:

scheme is:  <major><two digit minor><0 if release branch, otherwise 1>xx

This should actually read:

scheme is:  <major><two digit minor>Rxx
R is 0 if release branch or x.0-CURRENT before RELENG_x_0 is created,
otherwise 1

Scott, would this be an appropriate time now to discuss my proposals
to the release naming, and what would be an appropriate forum then?
