That warning is there so that you don't jump in with unrealistic
expectations and then find some particular problem or overall reliablity
issue that we haven't had time to work on.   If you are interested in
trying it out, you may be quite happy and we would love to hear about
whatever problems you do encounter.

So far -current hasn't made huge strides.  We have one small fix that may
solve a lot of the Sparc 10/20 problems, but hasn't been thoroughly
tested yet and doesn't solve all the problems.  We have floppies working
on at least one kind of Sun4m.  The Sun4c and Sun4 system will probably
continue to work fairly well.

There certainy won't be a 2.2 over the Summer holidays, but a Sparc
Snapshot mid-summer might be a reasonable target.
