There is a wiki page which describes proposed automated release and 4
proposed tiers:

http://wiki.opencsw.org/automated-release-process

- experimental (like in debian)
- testing (equiv. to debian unstable)
- current (equiv. to debian testing)
- stable (like in debian)

I suggested that promotions from testing to current and from current
to stable could be done periodically (quarterly?), as snapshots. Bug
and security fixed would be promoted bypassing the periodic schedule.

Thoughts?
