Quarterly is just a frozen HEAD with no/minute chances of security 
patches or other changes... why would you want to be there?  I couldn't 
even get someone to patch a security issue before the pkg_*->pkgng 
change..  was patched 4 days later despite having the patch in the bug 
before... and despite asking for the patch to be put in the quarterly 
they didn't either.  One continues to watch the exodus.
