How are you going to even find out the bug exists if you're not running
-current?

If you're seriously suggesting that people should consider doing
development work on user land code in 2.1 if they're having problems
with -current's stability then things really have got out of control.

This has never been a problem before and it shouldn't be now, we want
to get more people back to using -current not "recommend" that they use
2.1 instead. We're talking about potential developers here, who are
wiling to put up with the odd problem, not end users who need
stability.
