This warning appears on pretty much all pkg-fallout e-mails for HEAD.
It is a red-herring, and has nothing at all to do with why the e-mail is
being sent.  It's just a warning: the host and jail versions are
sufficiently close there is no actual conflict between the system kernel
and the jail's userland even though that userland is more recent.

The problem that is causing builds to fail in the pkg cluster will
appear towards the *end* of the build log included in the e-mail.  If
you're getting these e-mails then the affected port is failing to build
on at least one of the supported environments where it is expected to
work.  As port maintainer, you are meant to look into those build
failures and preferably fix them; not just ignore the e-mails.  If you
don't understand why this port is failing to build, then there are any
number of people here who will be happy to assist.

	Cheers,
