Correct.

We changed the way that the "release branch post-release" was identified,
replacing "maj.min.(teeny+1)_ALPHA" with "maj.min[.teeny]_STABLE".

For example, 1.6_STABLE will be released as 1.6.1, and then changes
to the netbsd-1-6 release branch will be highlighted by that branch
being renamed to "1.6.1_STABLE" ...
