Steve,

First a hat-tip for even doing this in the first place, if more
committers ran -current, -current would work better.

Second, I wrote src/tools/tools/sysbuild to specifically address
the issue of being able to work, while running -current.

sysbuild allows you to build your system into an empty partition
while you're working (= good test of scheduler btw), then test
boot the new system, and fall back to the old if it caused too
much trouble.
