The handbook also says:
Warning: The FreeBSD-STABLE tree endeavors, above all, to be fully
compilable and stable at all times, but we do occasionally make
mistakes (these are still active sources with quickly-transmitted
updates, after all). We also do our best to thoroughly test fixes in
FreeBSD-CURRENT before bringing them into FreeBSD-STABLE, but
sometimes our tests fail to catch every case.
Which means that you shouldn't track it if you have no tolerance for
such things. That's what -releases are for.
