Speaking as somebody who just lost 10 days worth of e-mail (nope, not 
backed up), I have to agree that this is the worst I've ever been thwacked
for running -current.  OTOH, I'm glad that it went in.  It seems like 
whenever something goes into a branch it languishes forever.  It is far 
better to get it up into -current and start banging on it.

After all, I saw the warning that it was going in, and I decided to
upgrade anyway.  It *is* -current.  Now, if the bugs don't get fixed, 
I'll agree with you, but I see a stream of bugfixes going in.
