If you're running recent snapshots then you are running -CURRENT and

as Theo mentions above:
"...but beware since -current is now ahead of what the upcoming

release will be, and that may not be what you want -- almost a

thousand commits have already happened to it."
-RELEASE would have been sent to the presses awhile back and

development continues on from 4.2.  You're past that point.  The

options are to continue with -CURRENT or start fresh with -RELEASE.
