OpenBSD 5.4 is currently scheduled to be officially released at the end of October 2013. Because of the lead time required to manufacture the official CD sets, the code base for 5.4 was frozen in the middle of August. Snapshots of
-current today will contain two months worth of developer changes past what was the August code base.
Nevertheless, it is still advisable for you to install
-current in order to see if any problems have been resolved. If you were to formally submit this as a problem report to the project developers, the first thing they would ask is whether any testing has been done with a recent
-current snapshot, & rightfully so.
