You should avoid running -current in a production environment unless you need to. If you do (and there seems to be a fairly large number currently (haha) doing so succesfully, generally people who need -current's features even though 3.0-RELEASE is still being held back), then don't track -current regularly (only upgrade when you have reason to believe that -current on a given date is reasonably solid) and do follow the relavent mailing-lists. -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
