It's the point in time where -current is in release mode (after being -beta for a while) to prepare for the next release. At that point there is no way for pkg_add or the system in general to know whether your machine is running current or release. Therefore you need to use -D snap until the kernel says -current again. This happens in every release cycle and lasts roughly two weeks.
