BTW, it's `snapshot'.  `Snap' refers to the act of releasing a rubber band.  ;)

Snapshots of NetBSD are created whenever someone dealing with a particular
port has time _and_ that person has a (subjective) feeling that the source
is relatively stable w.r.t. that port.

There are no `scheduled' snapshots, nor snapshots that happen `across all
ports' at the same time.

There are likely to be few changes between the 0315 snapshot and the final
1.4 release; the bulk of the code is complete.  So you're just fine doing
this right now.

(Of course, I also think snapshots should ship with source.  8-)
