That's fine, thanks 👍

My frustration was less about instability (not at all about any delay); more 
about the sense that I might not _predictably_ get myself back to a working 
desktop environment. That sense was extraordinary but :-) I'm not complaining, 
I know to expect the unexpected with -CURRENT.

I built with poudriere but forgot, the jail was not particularly recent. 
Updating now,

poudriere jail -u -j current

Understood. Not a problem for me.

Incidentally re: suspend and resume, I think I stumbled across a good 
workaround for the current situation. I'll await a reply from Pete Wright (to 
my previous e-mail) before sharing.

Best,
Graham
