I've looked at this. It looks like the right idea. But:

1) It's halfway around the world, in Japan. Downloads can be quite
slow. Why isn't it on the main FreeBSD FTP server and mirrors?

2) It's not documented anywhere -- not even on the Web page at
http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/.

3) Is it really a "p3" build? Or is it a snapshot of -STABLE? It looks
as if at least part of it (maybe all of it) is rebuilt every day.
