Right, but nobody has previously said that it's -CURRENT.
FreeBSD-current is for users of -CURRENT.

While I think you're going a little far here, people did go to a lot
of trouble to indicate that, despite the name, 3.0-RELEASE was
expected to be a little flaky.  In fact, it wasn't too bad, but it
wasn't a good idea to run it on production systems.  3.1-RELEASE will
be out in a week or two; you'd be well advised to move to that as soon
as possible.
