  How did you know this?
 
 I read the makefiles.

This sounds like several hours of work.
Thank you for letting me benefit of your time.

 No. CURRENT is not really documented that way. Developers are supposed
 to Use the Source, Luke! :-)

So the intended audience for CURRENT are developers?
Or maybe also testers?
What if somebody wants to know whether his hardware configuration is
supported (supposed it's not supported by Stable)?

CURRENT is explicitly for developers, etc.  Please read the page on the
FreeBSD website.

5 minutes, actually.

Pleasure!

Mostly, yes.

 Or maybe also testers?

Them as well.

Try current by al means, but as the hadbook states, CURRENT is not
for those seeking new features. It is a development-heavy, support-
light codebase.
