normally I build source when I setup a box (don't ask why, I don't
really know). However I've recently setup a file server on 333Mhz
hardware and decided to use pkgsrc (3.0) binaries... heh, only
amd64 available. Eventually I figured out why ;)

But I was wondering... would it be possible to build the 10% most
used packages for the most popular arches first. then do the rest,
as I presume they are all done now, in a more linear way?

Also, what happened to the binaries used for testing? No need for
great detail, I know very little about the release process and was
just wondering if "prior to" release builds where possible.
