"not supported" does not mean "_won't_ work", it means "if you try this
and break things, we aren't going to try and change anything to accommodate
you, and really don't expect help"

(there is of course no warranty anyway, but for things which are _supposed_
to work we'll usually try to look into them).

Golden rule with running snapshots around release time: if you want to move
to the standard release version / -stable afterwards, never upgrade to a
snapshot that has "-current" in the version string. You can easily check
after downloading by using what(1) on the kernel.

Care is needed with sysupgrade because after the kernel says "6.9" all you
can do is "sysupgrade -s" to upgrade to a snapshot. It's trivial to tweak
the shell script though.
