Two examples are the new boost and png libs, that caused several packages I use to stop working.

For me - at home - this is actually fun and challenging, and I learn a lot from it. But this is no fun at all if you simply need your box to work. That's why there is that disclaimer in the "CURRENT.WARNING"

Yes. I install -current on boxes that I want to have fun with. On my main work station (that I need to work) I run Slackware stable.

Same reason why I keep -stable on my server and my wife's desktop...

Everything put together sooner or later falls apart
and there's nothin' to it, nothin' to it
you can cry, and you can lie
for all the good it'll do ya you can die.
But when its' done and the police come
and they lay you down for dead
just remember what I said.
