3.2 stable kernel reports itself as 3.3???

Ok, maybe I missed something on this list, so here goes.

I just built a new OpenBSD server for work, to use as a firewall, and I did it via floppy install of 3.2. After installation, I installed the sources that I downloaded from the ftp site, cvs updated them, and built a new kernel. When I do a uname, it reports itself as a 3.3 kernel.

I know 3.3 hasn't been officially released yet, so I'm somewhat confused about this. Is this a new type of migration that's being done, to be more seamless than regular migration? Is my kernel now a hybrid 3.2-3.3 kernel? I used 'cvs up -Pd' with the CVSROOT environment variable set to one of the mirror servers, so as far as I know, this should have updated with sources from the -STABLE branch, not the -CURRENT branch.

I'm not overly concerned or anything, just curious.

Thanks.
