Quite honestly, if someone isn't that knowledgeable, then they probably 
shouldn't be running current.  In fact, the handbook even states that. I don't 
really see an issue here.  -current is a bleeding edge development release, 
that must be built from source, and SHOULD always point to the latest source 
code.

If you are using pkg_add -r <pkgname> to install software, on anything but 
release versions, you should expect breakage.

If you do not wish to build from source, then you should probably stick to 
release versions.
