True. And it's not reasonable to expect it. But it'd be wonderful if, say,
a -p4 came out and you could watch the -STABLE list to see if anyone
found a problem with it before installing it yourself.

If that Japanese -p3 build is either a snapshot of RELENG_4_5 or a
snapshot of -STABLE that does not seem to be causing people trouble,
it's an example of The Right Thing.... It should be duplicated on the
various mirrors and it should be the preferred version to download.
