The Roadmap at FreeBSD.org says that RELENG_5 will arrive with 5.3. I've pasted the gist of it below.
"The original schedule of releasing FreeBSD 5.2 and branching RELENG_5 in September 2003 is being pushed back due to the complexity of the remaining tasks. The new schedule follows:
* Nov 5, 2003: 5.2-BETA, general code freeze
* Nov 19, 2003: 5.2-RC1, RELENG_5_2 branched
* Nov 27, 2003: 5.2-RC2
* Dec 2, 2003: 5.2-RELEASE
* Mar 1, 2004: 5.3-BETA, general code freeze
* Mar 15, 2004: 5.3-RC1, RELENG_5 and RELENG_5_3 branched
* Mar 22, 2004: 5.3-RC2
* Mar 29, 2004: 5.3-RELEASE"

Merge of Darwin msdosfs, other fixes Not done Apple's Darwin operating system has fairly extensive improvements to msdosfs and other kernel services; these fixes must be reviewed and merged to the FreeBSD tree.
Since one reason the GPL people attack the BSD license so much is that it doesn't require give backs, it's good to see some people do the right thing.
this is not -STABLE yet.
