Re. having picobsd images built with a release, the problem
is that the most likely build failure for picobsd is overflowing the disk,
and usually the cure is not easy, such as replacing binaries
with smaller versions etc.
Also this might cause some dependency on ports.
E.g. I can currently build 1.44 bridge images on both STABLE and
CURRENT which includes ssh/sshd/scp and a few other network utilities,
but only using an old version of "more" ("less" is huge) and a
specialized port of ssh1 (btw any taker for a commit to a new
category ports/picobsd ??? see
