Sorry if my bit of sarcasm was not obvious.  

I was simply upset that in response to a perfectly reasonable query by
someone to the list regarding their failure to get -current to build,
yielded a list of mostly unhelpful suggestions by someone else.  

I simply objected to "explaining away" the problem with the excuse
that "you shouldn't expect current to always build".  I'm sure that
people will always make mistakes, and that's fine, but implication was
a bit different than that.
