No one has said that it won't be changed, only that it won't be
changed right this minute. It's ok if you don't understand all the
technical points that were made in the previous threads (I don't

is -current, and sometimes stuff breaks. If you can't deal with that,
run RELENG_6. Sorry to be so direct about it, but seriously ...
