That's for re-building the 1.4.1 release. If you're doing release
snapshots, you should use -A. This has all the updates and bug fixes
from the last eight months, plus that's going to be pretty close to
what will be the netbsd-1-4-PATCH002 tag. If there _are_ any
incompatablities, they need to be detected now, before the tag.

Likewise, if you're comtemplating a bulk build of pkgsrc, you would
also use the latest sources for that.
