Current is simply not supported. Good advice > about the handbook, though... Current may not be "supported", but those running -current comprise our only alpha and beta test groups. The bug reports submitted by these individuals provide valuable information that serves only to improve the final product (e.g., 3.0R). Ignoring such reports defeats the purpose of giving the public access to -current sources, and also shows a lack of concern on the part of the core team members. My intent is not to ruffle any feathers, but simply to express the concerns that are certainly shared by other members of the user base. PR is, as always, of utmost importance, and despite everyone's busy schedule, we can't afford to let it suffer.
