yes, definitely.

I think it used to be pkgsrc was intended to work on formal releases
and on -current, but recently it's very ambitious, and I think more
realistically it's intended to just always work everywhere, and
sometimes packages are broken.

The only case I can imagine older pkgsrc being compelling is maybe for
some of the Linux binary packages, where without the new COMPAT_LINUX,
you can't run the packaged version of the Linux program, but you could
run an older Linux program.  not an issue on non-i386 obviously.  Maybe
there are other cases, i dunno.
