Just so that the subject makes it clear. This info already made it in various messages ont the mailing list.
Right now, if you install OpenBSD, it says 6.1 without beta. So pkg_add will look for the release directory, and not find it yet because it's not out yet. pkg_add -Dsnap will make pkg_add bypass its usual heuristics and locate packages in the snapshots directory, where they will live until the release is done.
