I often have mixed feelings when I see lots of similar changes (i.e.
that make up for better hardware support, esp. on a laptop) MFCed.
I'd rather see laptop users run -CURRENT and leave -STABLE branches
for very conservative (server?) users who can't/don't want to afford
the risks of running -CURRENT or require ABI stability in a really
long run, rather than binge-merging things. :-)

By default it should be -CURRENT all over; it's a very good thing
that we as a Project ourselves are doing this as part of our own
dogfood eating strategy.
