A set of packages build completely under the old release should work fine.
A set of packages build completely under the new release must work fine.
A mixture of packages build under the old and new system will fail
in interesting ways and is therefore not advisable.
And this is not something that NetBSD could realistically fix. The maintainers
of G++ e.g. keep changing the C++ ABI.
