I'm sure I won't be the only one to raise an objection to this suggestion (as I'm sure you would have expected someone to :-) - but I for one am quite happy with tracking the cvsup version of current, and like to think I passed out of the "clueless" stage a fair while ago. I'm no code hacker, but -current shouldn't be the exlusive domain of developers - those of us who are willing to live dangerously and provide (hopefully) intelligent feedback when things break, are important for quality-control purposes. How big is the CVS repository anyway? I only have about 20MB spare on my src partition when the world is compiled - this is perfectly adequate for my needs as a "tester". I'm planning on buying a bigger disk and installing the CVS repository so I can start poking around with things more, but using cvsup has served me fine so far.
