I think the point is that with Linux/BSD/Whatever you get to build your production
engine and then never touch it ever again, and then use a -current/-beta/-development
version in your toy computers for fun.

ie. I run OpenBSD -stable on computers I use for work and never touch them except for
upgrades, then I use -current in computers I want to fiddle with and break from time
to time.
