+== Legacy Production Quality
-Some FreeBSD `RELEASEs` are supported but are older or built from older `STABLE` branches; these are considered "legacy" and are probably only of interest to people maintaining existing systems on FreeBSD.
+Legacy Production Releases are previous releases still under support for maintaining existing installations.

-== Development and Testing
-
-Pre-`RELEASE` versions of FreeBSD, not intended for use in production environments:
-
-* `CURRENT` – the main branch, the core of development
-* `STABLE` – branched from `CURRENT`, long-term preparations for release engineering
-* release engineering – `ALPHA`, `BETA`, release candidates (`RC`) – branched from `STABLE`.
-
-Uppercase has special meaning. For example:
-
-* a first _beta release_ is not a (production) `RELEASE`.
-
-The word `CURRENT` is sometimes a source of confusion:
-
-* if you are looking for the _current version_ of FreeBSD, you most likely want a `RELEASE` version (see above) – **not** `CURRENT` – `CURRENT` has special meaning in the development process.

[[download-snapshots]]
== Development Snapshots
-See link:../snapshots/[FreeBSD Snapshot Releases].
+link:../snapshots/[Development snapshot images] are images for testing experimental features and regressions.
+
+* `ALPHA`, `BETA`, and release candidates (`RC`) are pre-release images, please test these if available.
+* `STABLE` images are weekly snapshots built for testing what will become pre-release images.
+* `CURRENT` images are weekly snapshots built for testing main development branch.
+
+Please read the link:{handbook}cutting-edge/#current-stable[**development tracking guide**] before downloading one of these images.
