These days I think most users should be running -release,
installing packages, using freebsd-update and not going anywhere near
sources.
LOL! I wish that were the case. I am elbow deep in source code every time I touch the FreeBSD box. I think you mean "end-users". For those of us writing system and toolchain code it is not an option. We have to start building on a release, and see it through to completion, then try to port it to the latest -RELEASE.
