That's simply not true - we have the same expectations for code entering -current as we always have had (namely, that the committer should have taken reasonable steps to assure it actually compiles, and is tested). When -current is gratuitously broken it becomes difficult or impossible for other developers to work from it (most of the developers run -current on their primary work machines, I'd guess). What you probably heard was discussion about the SMP changes which are in development: those probably will have an unavoidable affect on the stability of -current for an extended period, but it's not an excuse to break things in other directions.
