Not at all. Besides the fact that implementing that philosophy would
require all the pkgsrc developers to run current on all machines, it
would require the users to upgrade their entire system in order to
upgrade a single package. And then consider that pkgsrc isn't
branched, so how would you guarantee that current pkgsrc will build
against 1.4.2, if it were only tested against 1.4P?
