You can get support by cvsuping to 4.5-PRERELEASE (which is the name on RELENG_4 at the moment) to get it today or wait for 4.5-RELEASE in late January. Are you familiar with updating with cvsup? It's fairly trivial, although it does require 2 reboots and about 30 minutes in single-user mode to install the new binaries. R.
