You've been flamed for testing -next?  That's not been my experience and
frankly it's pretty horrifying that it's happening.  Testing is pretty
much the whole point of -next existing in the first place so you have to
wonder why people are putting their trees there if they don't want
testing.  I have seen a few issues with people reporting bugs on old
versions of -next but otherwise...
