Yeah, it's kind of complex there. 

"Pre release" is after 'go' at a 'go/no-go meeting'. At that point
updates _are_ pushed to stable, but they populate the updates repo, they
no longer are part of the base release packages. 

The document doesn't make that part very clear tho... it folds in the
above with the time before go... perhaps it could be clarified. 

I can try...
