But can I be sure this would update my source trees, /usr/src and /usr/xsrc, 
now at NetBSD 5.1 RC3 to RC4, after RC4 is released, or to 5.1 RELEASE, when 
that is released?  As far as I know, -current is a separate branch, work in 
progress on what will be NetBSD 6.0.  I think there is also still a 5.0 branch 
which would be patches to 5.0.2?

I've been updating NetBSD base by downloading the iso, burning the CD, booting 
the CD and choosing update.  But this doesn't do the source.
