As far as facts go, there is no indication that whoever is using -CURRENT in production is doing so out of ignorance. I've only seen hearsay so far and I'm guessing that number is very small and comprises actually knowledgeable people that know the risks.
Additionally, it's stamped everywhere [1], if one cares to look, that CURRENT is unsupported, bleeding edge, buggy, "will not build sometimes", etc. Do we really want to modify a development process that has been in use for over a decade because of a few clueless/extremely-gifted people?
Another possibility is that this person is a FreeBSD jedi, well aware of the risks and payoffs. In that case, this bug is no surprise and she/he is prepared to act on it and regenerate some keys, review commit logs (if a developer), and look for signs of intrusion etc.
I still think this is a "non-news" and poor attempt to use HN to spread fear and trigger useless discussions. The usual drama show.
