Umm... *shuffles feet*... I wasn't planning on having portsnap in the
base system for FreeBSD 6.0.  I'd rather give it a couple of months to
settle in and MFC it before FreeBSD 5.5 and FreeBSD 6.1.  People can
always install it from the ports tree until then.

Unless you really want an insta-MFC in the middle of a release freeze,
of course...
