Yes ... and after that ? I think 3.0 will have to come out
as well with SMP support and such. And I donīt believe,
that there will be a 2.2.5 or 2.2.whatever with merged
SMP support.
As it was in the past, -current will become the next
major release with many new improved features. And you
certainly want to have a working ports collection for
that version as well, or ?!

We have the ports collection for such add on software, so
lets use it !

yes. and nobody would loose anything, because you can
of course install tcl 8.x from the ports collection.
