It's not that it's not widely deployed - it's that -CURRENT is deployed by people who have been warned that it could fail at any moment because it is in constant development. It's a development tree, sometimes it doesn't even boot! Sometimes on svn upgrade (and recompile) it can hose your filesystem partitions and that's expected. Forget about the RNG - when someone is working on filesystem code it corrupts files and you lose all your data! I can say this with a straight face because that's what it's for.
I say it's a game-ON plan because thank goodness it got caught in -CURRENT now - that's the way the development process is supposed to work.
I myself run -CURRENT 2 ways - one is a sandbox development physical box that has no access to any of my other servers (I use it to try ports to see if they will still work on -CURRENT), and the 2nd way is in a VM on my laptop to fire it up to see if it boots from time to time.
