If you are using kld modules, it is a Really Good Idea to keep your kld modules compiled and in sync with your kernel while internal interfaces are changing. kget(8) also will need a recompile. People who are running -current for stability had better be damn careful and be very selective about what they choose to run as a stable snapshot.
