Subject:   "buildig release" knob in make world/release
Message-ID:  <35762.955547013@critter.freebsd.dk>

The recent discussion about making malloc(3) more picky and adding
INVARIANTS to kernels during the current cycle came out in favour
of the general principle of making CURRENT more picky about mistakes.

This begs the question if we should add a top-level knob which sets 
the entire build, world, release, kernels and modules in one of two
modes:
	CURRENT		- enable extra checks.
	RELEASE		- disable extra checks

or if we should enable each of these extra checkes individually ?

If we agree on one big handle, what should the name be ?
