Re: -current "sane to try" yet?

The developers have lives of their own, in addition to working
on OpenBSD stuff.  If they don't answer a question, well, they
only have so many hours in a day in which to do things.

As for what you did with -current, thats entirely reasonable, if
I understand you.  Waiting a bit to see if things change after a
problem is a good idea.  Given that -current is always a work
in progress, your snapshot of -current might have caught
things during a series of updates that are incomplete.

Several times now, I've pulled down changes that had compile
problems.  Looking at the src change list showed that I didn't
yet have the complete set of something and waiting for the
mirror to get its next refresh fixed things.
