well if i was going to use -CURRENT i assumed one would have to according to 
this link:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld

which seemed to suggest to me that if I was running release and wanted to 
end up with -CURRENT I would install the latest snapshot and then fetch and 
build current.

in any event...i'm not running current on my firewall so this is all a moot 
point.

yea...guess i'll be waiting for it to release then.
