Many builds fail. Even if a build succeeds sync may fail/hang instead.
Builds usually start on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday at 01:00 UTC
but if the previous build didn't complete the next one is skipped.

I don't use thunderbird and only dogfood -CURRENT where "everything is fine":

  $ pkg search -q mail/thunderbird\$
  thunderbird-78.5.1

  $ pkg search -q www/firefox\$
  firefox-84.0_2,2
