    I think we need to stick to quarterlies for HEAD.  People who are able
    to test things can manually switch their pkgsrc to master.   One problem
    with using pkgsrc master is that we will wind up with a large amount of
    noise from bug reports that are related to temporary breakage in the 
    pkgsrc tree.  I don't think imposing it on all HEAD users will be that
    beneficial.

    Another issue is that I expect quite a few people are tracking HEAD
    instead of -stable for production machines.  I certainly am, mainly
    because its the only way to test the work, but regardless of that I
    need a stable pkgsrc set on nearly all of my boxes.
