Okay, this may seem a bit strange for you, but here's a stab at a possible solution for people who can't keep up with the sheer bulk of -current. Maintain a README type file, perhaps called HEADSUP, with warnings and announcements in reverse cronological order, and dated. I did this for a couple of the software projects I've done in the past, and it was extremely helpful. People only had to read down to the point where they last upgrade, and nothing had to be left out for fear of being overly redudant. Every one in a while the file would be trimmed (roughly yearly) to keep the file size sane, but it overall worked out well. Am I on drugs for suggesting it here? Or just on drugs? :-).
