ocicat, thanks for the detailed explanation and I appreciate you taking the time to do that.
My I suggest that what you wrote above be put into a file called README1st and uploaded to the snapshots directory of all the FTP mirrors. This way new converts to OpenBSD will have a clear idea of what they are going to download.
Now regarding your detailed and useful explanation, I've some questions for you:
1. What's meant by "head of the CVS repository?

& supporting binaries for -current -- the head of the CVS repository.

2. Does building packages from source cause the --current version to become insecure (that is, vulnerable) and unstable?

Library mismatches may mean that -current users will need to build packages from source,
