Because sparc64-7 was (is) still, during that time, doing nothing
but building the 7.0 release packages, and rebuilding the ones that
had been tag-slipped for security updates.  They only finally finished

I have restarted the sparc64-6 build I had started and then
interrupted when the last security problems showed up.  That's got
