Howdy, I would have lucked out if it wasn't reliable :-) If you do all the right things, such as follow the commit logs and test, test, test, you can get a snapshot of current that will prove reliable for a certain number of tasks. It had three months of testing before going into production, so I didn't get any rude shocks, nor was I risking my job. Everyone was aware of the potential for instability and the fallback was to run the apps on a 4.x release or stable. I needed proof by example that FreeBSD development code was just as capable - if not more - as commercial OS releases. I have that well and truly now :-) I liked riding the edge of insanity years ago. I've fallen over the edge since then :-)
