Just occured to me you realy might not know: we are in the last few days
of the NetBSD 1.5 Release cycle. So some of the few build machines are
tied to the 1.5 branch and busy producing snapshots there.

And you often can not build a snapshot on your developement machine with
dozens of yet uncommited changes in the source tree.

As new users can easily install the (available) 1.5 Snapshots and then
upgrade to -current via cvs and self compiled sources, there doesn't
seem to be an urgent need for -current snapshots.
