if you'd read the FAQ and researched a little in the mailing list archives,
you'd probably noticed:
1) as a general rule of thumb: it is _insane_ to try -current source
in -stable or
-release environment. It most likely won't work, it won't even compile. If you
make it sort of working, and wind up with strange problems in the
mailing list,
you'll be mocked or flamed. Never mix -current and -stable/-release.
2) a release (currently 3.6) never gets feature or driver additions. The only
changes are more or less critical fixes related to security or
relability (-stable
branch)

So, the answers to your questions: No and no.
