But you should only run -current if you have the time to follow the latest changes closely, since there are still a few bumpy points. Bearing that in mind, I have run -current at my workstation at home ever since I remember me switching to 3-current and it's not very difficult to keep it stable if you are cautious when upgrading to avoid the occasional periods of serious problems.
