And this is why on -CURRENT we often cheat, and don't update the jails
every 5 minutes.  Thus ignoring this message in the errorlogs:

  !!! Jail is newer than host. (Jail: 1300050, Host: 1300047) !!!
  !!! This is not supported. !!!
  !!! Host kernel must be same or newer than jail. !!!
  !!! Expect build failures. !!!

because *in general* things don't change that much.  Of course, if there
is something significant enough, then, yes, the whole package set must
be rebuilt.

Heaven save us from the "rolling release" monster e.g. the abolition
of even the idea of "release" except wrapped in a pretty phrase.  I
could not disagree more.
