If you want updates and patches you have to make world once in a while. It's only common sense to see if 3.3 fixes your problem before going off on developers who may have fixed YOUR problem long ago but you haven't incorporated those changes. As for 4.0, it's going to be -RELEASE someday too, so don't you think it should be developed? It isn't as if they're not working on -STABLE too. Lastly, as for slower? I've ran FreeBSD for years and now I run a combo of -STABLE and -CURRENT and you know what? It's all good! My hardware is the bottle neck and its just as fast as 2.x was.
