Yes, -CURRENT is for new technologies and integration, even with rough edges. However, such integration should not cause major pain for more than 3-4 days. Anything more than 3 days or so, can really impact other's work. devrandom has taken a little longer than this. Over the past 3 weeks (or so), I've I've lost a day to this, and others piped up saying they've lost a lot of time too. This does not make me happy when writing my status reports to my boss, or others who really hoped to spend their Sunday afternoon developing their favorite new feature and instead couldn't. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) Disclaimer: Not speaking for FreeBSD, just expressing my own opinion.
