I think a very useful thing to take the guesswork out of this
process would be to either show users (such as at the release map
- http://www.netbsd.org/Releases/release-map.html) how to determine
precisely what tags go with what branches and how xsrc maps to src
or provide something like a table of this mapping. I have never
seen anything that explains how xsrc is mapped to src or what
versions of X are available, or what does or doesn't work with
what.
