For 13.0-CURRENT, both latest and quarterly are updated.  For non-x86 on
12.0-STABLE and 11.2-STABLE, quarterly is updated (not latest), so from
a general sense of this particular commit, it is correct.

But you are also correct in your assertion that the current default
(latest) for non-x86 does appear to be incorrect.

I'll do some poking around into this.

Thank you for bringing this up.
