The point of -CURRENT is to make sure everything works before it becomes -STABLE and -RELEASE. Not building significant components of the system ensures those components don't get tested. This includes the actual build process, as well as the underlying profiling functionality. As a FreeBSD developer, you eat the cost of compiling everything. As a FreeBSD developer, if you are concentrating on a specific area at a particular time, turning off un-related parts of the build might speed things up for you. As a FreeBSD developer, you know how to do that. --lyndon
