Floats my boat.  Go for it.

As regards talking people through the intricacies of the build process
as the project changes things, I don't think we can (or should) go beyond

<para>These are the general steps you will need to perform.  If you're staying
within minor release numbers of a -stable release then it's unlikely you
will need to deviate from this.  However, if you are running -current
then you <emphasis>must</emphasis> read the mailing list, and 
<filename>/usr/src/UPDATING</filename> before doing this.  And remember,
-current is allowed to be broken, you run it at your own risk.</para>
