My concern as a "user" is that we continue to have maintained sound drivers in RELENG_4. My impression is that it will be a while before CURRENT is working well enough for the great unwashed masses to use, perhaps longer than usual for a new major version release. It would be useful perhaps to gauge the actual impact of this incompatability (how many people are using 3rd party sound driver?) before making a decision.
