After 6 month using -current as desktop I was about to follow the opposite path and try to stay -stable (after 4.7 is released). Using -current, I sometimes have had to upgrade to the latest snapshot just because I wanted to install some new package and bumped into an error like "not good version of libc". In fact, I thought that having a -release (and -stable) was a strength of OpenBSD (if not why put so much effort for that). -- Manuel Giraud
