  Let me add to this by emphasizing that (unlike the base tree of
NetBSD-current) we have a policy of not replacing a stable release
version in pkgsrc with an unstable beta version.  If there is reason
enough to import a `bleeding edge' version, usually an additional
`<packagename>-current' package gets imported.  Also, the package team
doesn't usually control the original source code.  Therefore, it would
be a lot harder for us to track and pull up (to a set of release
branches) any security or bug fixes (while leaving out feature updates)
from newer package versions.

  I admit that there is always the odd chance that something goes wrong
and some newer version of a package shows some unexpected instability. 
However, that has happened to us on -release branches of the base source
as well.  That alone does not really warrant multiplying our workload!
