Well I am a it wary of using -current system in a production environment
this is why I suggested -stable or -release

And to answer Taavi Talvik's comments , I think it is a catch 22 situation
there can only be more supported hardware if people use ATM in FreeBSD and they
can only use it if there are more hardware supported.

The reason is simple IMHO, many people will look at what IS currently supported
under FreeBSD in order to purchase adequate hardware. Of course I am talking
about users and not develloper ,because not every user of FreeBSD is also 
a develloper.
