Do they have to?
Why couldn't pkg mirrors keep say, the four latest quarterly sets all the time?
This would increase the usability of quarterly packages, at users own
risk, with only more diskspace as the expense for the FreeBSD projects
/ pkg mirrors.
No extra work involved once the setup is configured and tested.
