No - not yet.

When I posted this to -questions earlier in the week, I said:

I agree with Greg's reasoning, so I've been hanging in there
hoping in my own newbie way to contribute to refining FreeBSD. :)

But, I cannot keep running on such an unstable platform for long, so I
will probably need to go to 4.6-STABLE in the quest for stability unless
something concrete emerges quite soon :(
