Hi,

as we know the FreeBSD infrastructure wears 'thin' and there is for example not
enough 'horsepower' to rebuild all 'electron*' (or other heavy) packages for
both 'latest' and 'quarterly' packages branches.

I would propose something that could solve that.

Right now 'latest' packages are rebuild about once a week.
Right now 'quarterly' packages are rebuild about once a quarter.

New proposal:

Introduce new 'biweekly' target and drop 'quarterly'.

Keep just one 'tree' of packages and link both 'latest' and 'quarterly' to it.

If 'biweekly' (every 14 days) is too short windows - it can also be 'every 20
days'.

Just an idea ...

Regards,
vermaden
