That's really excellent news. 

On a related issue, for those in the know - is it possible to use a
-current SMP kernel with a 4.x userland? I have an SMP system that I don't
want to upgrade, but don't have a problem switching kernels on the system.
I have a feeling that the threading changes in -current will break any
4.x-compiled threaded packages though, hence my question.
