People can decide for themselves about that,

First commit enabling parsing in pkg_add
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/5cb7aebf4211294fd2891b0bc45c383ab7fd66af

"REMINDER: snapshots go with -current"
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=165355109123377&w=2

Second commit, after base is updated with this subsequent package builds
use the new annotation
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/c2e596a17ac45689d758df0d67597fef94480ebe

(Then it takes time for new packages to be built on the various archs
and it's not until *then* that errors would show up for people who
haven't updated base yet)
