The 3.3.11 -> 3.3.12 upgrade history would not be important because
3.3.x will never become our recommended version until it's pulled down
to databases/db3.
I had a good mind to name it databases/db3-devel, but I decided not
since db 3.3.11 was actually a release from Sleepycat. However, from
the ports point of view it's still a development version and
databases/db3-latest will preverse the history of the maturing
periods.
(I wouldn't insist on it, though)

I've never heard we ever did something like that...
