cvs-all *IS*REQUIRED* for all people running -current.  UPDATING tries
to cull things from there on an as needed basis.  It is a service that
gets done when I have time.  If someone wants to pay me a stipend to
drop everything the instant something is committed to the tree and
update UPDATING, then the lag will improve.  Otherwise, 3-7 days
really isn't that bad and will continue to be the case.
