I really doubt that there will be much development in -CURRENT till after 9.0 is released anyway. A couple of the temporary fixes worked for me, so I can still update if I need to. All in all this is minor compared to a few years ago when all development was done directly on the head branch. You never knew from day to day and sometimes by the hour if -CURRENT would even build let alone run. This is just a bump in the road by comparison.
