To summarize, do you say that -current ports will be replaced by -stable port? If yes, you can remove me from all ports I maintain since I run -current only. I also ask to make separate -current ports tree for all ports I maintain and others (unknown) which I change sometimes, even if this new -current tree will not have portsmaster. -- Andrey A.
