Only two of the package mirrors have even started to update, so it's going
to be a few days until the new build updates, and then more days until all
the files are copied out.

pkgbox has a full set of packages - a good chunk of them are built on
1.13, so there will be a warning at install, but that's it.  Building from
source (which I think is somewhat more common with pkgsrc) is already an
option in any case.  I don't think there's a need to wait.
