Personally I run -current and have done for the last year. However I 
have NEVER used NOTES or LINT in my life. I have configured my custom 
kernels just by cp GENERIC BLAH, and then editing BLAH.

I have no idea what the order of NOTES etc is. But if I ever found 
GENERIC have changed from what I expect it to be I would be annoyed as I 
know and love the current GENERIC layout.

I can see where you are coming from if you DID use NOTES etc however 
please bear a thought for the people like me who have gone 100% from 
GENERIC ever since they have used freebsd. Personally I have used fbsd 
since 3.x and GENERIC has not changed much since. I'm used to it!

Matt.
