Ditto ... in fact, I do that on my desktop and have yet to hit a problem 
... -STABLE *is* generally very stable ...

Stupid question here ... if -STABLE shouldn't be tracked, who exactly is 
doing testing on it?  Those doing "the work" on -CURRENT, I would imagine, 
are tracking -CURRENT, and testing the code put in there for bugs ... when 
deemed 'bug free', then its being MFCd to -STABLE, but if those of us that 
*are* tracking -STABLE stop'd tracking it ... who would be testing it?
