Exactly. This text was included on the back of the 5.0 snapshot CDROM
from last year :
"The FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT SNAPshots are works in progress, and are
intended solely for developers who are developing software on
FreeBSD. There are no guarantees about the stability of these
snapshot releases, although we make every attempt to thoroughly
test the releases before production."
It's hard for me to have sympathy for a user who doesn't read the
warning labels posted all over the CD and release documentation.
