I don't think that 2008q4 build (which is done probably before 2.3) works 
at all with 2.3.x because of libc major version bump. All current 
releases including 2009q1 have probably too many failures (including 
major ones like all mozilla products) on 2.3.x after Studbolts' megapush. 

We should use 2009q2 (which will be released somewhere in the end of June 
hopefully, so before the 2.4 release) for 2.4. 

In short, I try (really, only try ;) to make sure that our release in 
January works reasonably with q4 and q1 and a release in July with q2 and 
q3. Master users are on their own and should use pkgsrc HEAD.
