Not in the least.  Rather that the code base right now is quickly
changing due to the code freeze today[*]; and that during times of such
quick changes it is hard to `cvs up' at just the right moment to get a
consistent world.  Thus it will be much easier for people to build a
release (which of course implies full world), after the dust settles.

[*] of those I've talked to, we are assuming a freeze time today of 8pm
based on past experience.
