Nope.  freebsd-current is a moving target, and there's no guarantee that
a kernel made one day wouldn't be totally broken, or that the kernel
needs/wants userland changes in order to work correctly.

But, be of good cheer.  Jordan is putting together another release of
FreeBSD (net-only) called 1.1.5 which is the last release of FreeBSD
based on Net/2.  It will be freebsd-current before freebsd-current moves
to the 4.4 lite tree.
