I've been tracking RELENG_5_0 pretty much since it existed, but I am 
wondering now if it would be better to track -CURRENT via HEAD instead. 
After all, with the semi-frozen status of HEAD, all knew commits should be 
fairly conservative and the _general_ _ trend_ should at least be toward a 
more stable product. I wonder if HEAD is actually a more stable product than 
RELENG_5_0. Certainly it would be for anyone using the nvidia-driver, since 
it is unsupported on RELENG_5_0. What are your thoughts? Do you have any 
advice for me? I do not run a "production server" but I require that my 
computer work most of the time as a workstation.
Thanks for your opinions on the matter,
Evan Dower
