Can -STABLE run applications that use shared memory on an SMP kernel?
No? I didn't think so.
I think a lot of the people who run older versions of -current, and
upgrade sporadically, have done so because there are particular things
missing out of -STABLE that they need (or want). For various reasons,
they're not inclined to install a new version of -current daily, or
even weekly, and wait until they feel that -current is relatively
stable. Most of them have no interest in doing major OS internals
development, but are capable of generating kernel dumps after a panic.
They also know that nobody's going to spend a lot of time on any
problems they encounter unless they're running a very current
-current.
