  I give a vote to this, too, from just a user standpoint.

  Present -current is stabler than to be.  (Don't need to care about
"crashed with yesterday's -current". -current is such thing.)
May need some other tree more challenging for the progress of FreeBSD
and computer science, if yet stick to stability of -current.
