I seem to recall that I was; I couldn't even build a whole -current kernel
to start upgrading it, without getting at least one crash. It was why I moved
on to other arch's and ignored next68k until the recent snapshot went up.

My next68k is still happily trundling through a make-build of 20000116-UTC
sources, with nary a single panic since I installed the snapshot.

If you put it in the 1.4 branch, I will test it by building a 1.4.2_ALPHA
kernel and then downgrading userland via massive tar devastation on the
server -- and then build it up to 1.4.2_ALPHA from source.
