I dunno.  I've had a relatively sane trip on -CURRENT for some time.
There have been rockier periods... but the amount of time that I'm
out-of-commission due to -CURRENT has been very small... and usually
fixed by an overnight rebuild or somesuch.

... but -CURRENT is, as they say, for the developers.  I'm not sure of
the benifit for non-developers to be at -CURRENT.

I do maintain a few other peoples machines at varying stages of
-CURRENT.  I find it helpful to have a machine to test an update on
first.  One small flaw in cvsup is that you can't specify a timestamp
to sync the files to.  That would make things more sane.

Dave.
