I would vote for a prominent message in the places people who run -CURRENT
are meant to pay attention to (this mailing list and UPDATING and the ports
equivalents).

The message should point people to a web site (wiki?) with the latest news
on how to report and provide patches for fixes with guidance on typical
solutions.

After all, this is -CURRENT and it's users are meant to be contributing
fixes and are not expected to require their hands to be held.

This I believe would be a good method to leverage the community so as to
distribute the fixup problem.

In particular the hack of 9.99 is likely to cause more problems and should
be avoided.
