 0. Create a stabiliation report in the tracking issue for the feature being stabilized.
 0. (Optional) For partial stabilizations, create a new partial stabilization PR for the subset of the issue being stabilized.
 0. Ask a **@rust-lang/libs-api** member to start an FCP on the tracking issue and wait for the FCP to complete (with `disposition-merge`).
-0. Change `#[unstable(...)]` to `#[stable(since = "version")]`. `version` should be the *current nightly*, i.e. stable+2. You can see which version is the current nightly in [`src/version`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/version) on the master branch of `rust-lang/rust`.
+0. Change `#[unstable(...)]` to `#[stable(since = "CURRENT_RUSTC_VERSION")]`. `CURRENT_RUSTC_VERSION` here is meant in a literal sense and not to be replaced with the spelled out version number.
 0. Remove `#![feature(...)]` from any test or doc-test for this API. If the feature is used in the compiler or tools, remove it from there as well.
