I think that part of the problem might be that the name is a little bit misleading. When I first started looking at FreeBSD and heard about CURRENT I had an image in my mind of the current release, ie, what I later discovered was called -RELEASE. A name like DEVEL might have been less confusing. I'm not suggesting that the name be changed, just trying to explain a phenomenon. Maybe the solution to the problem would be better advertising (ie, where -CURRENT is mentioned make it clear that it is development code).
