Not I.  I have only the one machine, and I rely upon it.  If I had a
second machine, though, I would probably run -current on at least one
machine.  (^&

Hm...it may come with one, but I'm not wild about calling it a feature
(rather than a bug) that ssh can't use the system libgmp.  Unless the
system libgmp is unreliable or unstable in some way, it seems undesirable
(if non-fatal) to re-build libgmp for random programs that want to use it.

Or does the ssh package only build libgmp if a system libgmp isn't found?
