This reminds me: i've just closed a number of PRs that were for
-current.  Folks, while we urge people to use send-pr for error
reporting, please *don't* use this as the first method when reporting
something for a brand-new -current system.  Always watch the -current
mailinglist, that's what you are expected to do.  Only if you think
there's danger that it might fall through the cracks (or it's really a
long-standing problem affecting something else as well), report it
with send-pr.

PRs submitted for -current have proven to quickly become stale.  And
while the person who fixed the problem was often well aware of the
problem itself, he wasn't of the PRs that were also file against it,
so they never get closed.
