Clarity in stable.html

At first glance the -stable tree could be misunderstood as -release +
errata.  After careful reading it's evident that -release + errata !=
-stable

I feel such a mistake could be attributable to the first bulleted list in
stable.html  The first two items are similar enough that one might think
that applying the errata patches to the -release tree is equivalent to "cvs
checkout -rOPENBSD_4_1"

Since there isn't any indication for what to call the code base which is
-release + errata, -stable could be mistakenly understood as -release +
errata when it is in fact not.

In my opinion in order to clearly define the boundary between "-stable" and
"-release + errata":

1) The code defined by "-release +errata" needs a name
2) Obtaining the -stable code needs to stressed as only attainable through
CVS


Do these ideas make sense? I'm just trying to clear up any possible pitfalls
in understanding this aspect of OpenBSD.
