Quite honestly, if someone isn't that knowledgeable, then they probably
shouldn't be running current. In fact, the handbook even states that. I don't
really see an issue here. -current is a bleeding edge development release,
that must be built from source, and SHOULD always point to the latest source
code.
If you are using pkg_add -r <pkgname> to install software, on anything but
release versions, you should expect breakage.
If you do not wish to build from source, then you should probably stick to
release versions.
