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.
