I have not, primarily because I was not aware of crochet when
I originally started this.  Although, by using the release stuff from
the base system, we do get a weekly run-test of the 'make release' bits
in head/ and stable/9/, so in theory, there would be no surprises when
it is -RELEASE time.

Yes, I have this same issue with sparc64.
