    We can change WORKING to something else, if someone can think up of a
    better name, but the other names are set in stone.

    What I am calling WORKING right now is unique to DragonFly... FreeBSD
    doesn't have a slip tag in their HEAD branch to track good working points
    during development.

    The other tags are fairly similar to their FreeBSD counterparts once
    you compensate for the fact that they are doing a two-track development
    model verses our one-track development model.
